Choose one. If you're not sure, -choose the easy_install way. - - The easy_install Way: - - You don't need to download the source code first. You do need to have the - "easy_install" tool installed first: - - http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/EasyInstall#installing-easy-install - - The 'easy_install' tool can download and install tahoe for you. Just type - 'easy_install allmydata-tahoe' from any shell. That will download the most - recent Tahoe source tarball, unpack it in a temporary directory, install it - to the standard location, then download and install any easy_install-able - dependencies that you need (setuptools, zfec, foolscap, simplejson, nevow, - and pycryptopp).

This will compile and install the Tahoe code - to the standard location for your operating system (on unix, that is - somewhere inside /usr/lib/). It will also acquire and install the - easy_install-able dependencies (setuptools, zfec, foolscap, simplejson, - nevow, and pycryptopp) to the same place. (This will work only if you have - already installed the dependencies listed in the MANUAL DEPENDENCIES - section, above.) - - (To install it to a non-standard location, see - http://allmydata.org/trac/tahoe/wiki/SetuptoolsAndGNUStow .) - - The end result will be that the Tahoe code is installed to the standard - location for libraries on your operating system (on unix, that is somewhere - inside /usr/lib/), and the "tahoe" executable will be installed to the - standard location for executables on operating system. - - The Running-In-Place Way: - - You can use Tahoe without installing it. The steps are these: - - 1. Get the source code (see above). - - 2. Run "make build-auto-deps" to install the easy_install-able dependencies - (setuptools, zfec, foolscap, simplejson, nevow, and pycryptopp) into a - local subdirectory of the Tahoe source distribution. (Note that when the - dependent libraries are updated, you should use "make clean" before - "make build-auto-deps" to make sure you will get the newest versions). - - 3. Build Tahoe by running "make". - - 4. Once you've built it then you can execute "./bin/tahoe". (When the tahoe - script is in a Tahoe source distribution, it adds the necessary - directory to the Python "sys.path". It also looks for any dependencies - that you installed by "make build-auto-deps" and includes them in the - sys.path.) See the RUNNING section, below. - - The Debian Way: - - The Debian Way is to build .deb files which you can then install with - "dpkg". - - This requires certain debian packages (build-essential, fakeroot, - devscripts, debhelper, cdbs) to be installed first, since they are used to - construct the Tahoe .deb files. A full list of these required packages can - be found in the "Build-Depends" line in the misc/DIST/debian/control in the - top-level tahoe directory (replacing the word DIST with etch, dapper, edgy, - or feisty as appropriate). - - Get the source code (see above). - - If you're running on a debian system, run 'make deb-etch', 'make deb-sid', - 'make deb-edgy', or 'make deb-feisty' from within the tahoe top-level - directory to construct a debian package named 'allmydata-tahoe' which you - can then install with dpkg. - - -TESTING THAT IT IS PROPERLY INSTALLED - - If you have gotten the source code, then you can run 'make check-deps' - checks that all of the required Python package dependencies are installed. - You can run 'make test' runs the unit test suites. (This can take a long - time on slow computers. There are a lot of tests and some of them do a lot - of public-key cryptography.) - - Executing the tahoe script from the "bin" subdirectory will work only if - Tahoe itself is installed, either because it is installed into the local - subdirectory (as per "The Running-In-Place Way") or because it is installed - into your system (as per the other three ways of installing). - - -RUNNING: - - Run the "tahoe" executable. - - If you installed "The Running-In-Place Way", then it is in your source tree, - in the "bin" subdirectory thereof. If you installed in one of the other - three ways, then it has been installed into your operating system's - filesystem, perhaps in "/usr/bin" on Unix, or in "C:\Python25\Scripts" on - Window. - - The "tahoe" utility is used to create, start, and stop nodes. Each node - lives in a separate base directory, inside of which you can add files to - configure and control the node. Nodes also read and write files within that - directory. - - A grid consists of a single central 'introducer and vdrive' node and one or - more 'client' nodes. If you are joining an existing grid, the - introducer-and-vdrive node will already be running, and you'll just need to - create a client node. If you're creating a brand new grid, you'll need to - create both an introducer-and-vdrive and a client (and then invite other - people to create their own client nodes and join your grid). - - The introducer (-and-vdrive) node is constructed by running 'tahoe - create-introducer --basedir $HERE'. Once constructed, you can start the - introducer by running 'tahoe start --basedir $HERE' (or, if you are already - in the introducer's base directory, just type 'tahoe start'). Inside that - base directory, there will be a pair of files 'introducer.furl' and - 'vdrive.furl'. Make a copy of these, as they'll be needed on the client - nodes. (If you want to use a publically available test grid, get the - introducer.furl and vdrive.furl files from - http://allmydata.org/trac/tahoe/wiki/TestGrid instead of running your own - introducer.) - - To construct a client node, pick a new working directory for it, then run - 'tahoe create-client --basedir $HERE'. Copy the two .furl files from the - introducer into this new directory, then run 'tahoe start --basedir $HERE'. - After that, the client node should be off and running. The first thing it - will do is connect to the introducer and introduce itself to all other nodes - on the grid. You can follow its progress by looking at the - $HERE/logs/twistd.log file. - - create-client will put port specification into a file named $HERE/webport, - unless overridden by the --webport option to create-client. The presence of - a port specification in the webport file prompts the client node to run a - webserver on the desired port, through which you can view, upload, download, - and delete files. The contents of the webport file is actually a "strports - specification", defined in - http://twistedmatrix.com/documents/current/api/twisted.application.strports.html - , so you can have it only listen on a local interface by writing - "tcp:8123:interface=127.0.0.1" to this file (that's what create-client does - by default), or make it use SSL by writing - "ssl:8123:privateKey=mykey.pem:certKey=cert.pem" instead. - - A client node directory can also be created without installing the code - first. Just use 'make create-client', and a new directory named 'CLIENTDIR' - will be created inside the top of the source tree. Copy the relevant .furl - files in, set the webport, then start the node by using 'make start-client'. - To stop it again, use 'make stop-client'. Similar makefile targets exist - for making and running an introducer node. - - If you are behind a firewall and you can configure your firewall to forward - TCP connections on a port to the computer running your Tahoe node, then you - can configure the Tahoe node to announce itself as being available on that - IP address and port. The way to do this is to create a file named - $HERE/advertised_ip_addresses, in which you can put IP addresses and port - numbers in "dotted-quad:port" form, e.g. "209.97.232.113:1345". You can put - multiple IP-address-and-port-number entries into this file, on separate - lines. - - There is a public grid available for testing.

(Note that when the + dependent libraries are updated, you should use "make clean" before + "make build-auto-deps" to make sure you will get the newest versions). + + 3. Build Tahoe by running "make". + + 4. Once you've built it then you can execute "./bin/tahoe". (When the tahoe + script is in a Tahoe source distribution, it adds the necessary + directory to the Python "sys.path". It also looks for any dependencies + that you installed by "make build-auto-deps" and includes them in the + sys.path.) See the RUNNING section, below. + + The Debian Way: + + The Debian Way is to build .deb files which you can then install with + "dpkg". + + This requires certain debian packages (build-essential, fakeroot, + devscripts, debhelper, cdbs) to be installed first, since they are used to + construct the Tahoe .deb files. A full list of these required packages can + be found in the "Build-Depends" line in the misc/DIST/debian/control in the + top-level tahoe directory (replacing the word DIST with etch, dapper, edgy, + or feisty as appropriate). + + Get the source code (see above). + + If you're running on a debian system, run 'make deb-etch', 'make deb-sid', + 'make deb-edgy', or 'make deb-feisty' from within the tahoe top-level + directory to construct a debian package named 'allmydata-tahoe' which you + can then install with dpkg. + + +TESTING THAT IT IS PROPERLY INSTALLED + + If you have gotten the source code, then you can run 'make check-deps' + checks that all of the required Python package dependencies are installed. + You can run 'make test' runs the unit test suites. (This can take a long + time on slow computers. There are a lot of tests and some of them do a lot + of public-key cryptography.) + + Executing the tahoe script from the "bin" subdirectory will work only if + Tahoe itself is installed, either because it is installed into the local + subdirectory (as per "The Running-In-Place Way") or because it is installed + into your system (as per the other three ways of installing). + + +RUNNING: + + Run the "tahoe" executable. + + If you installed "The Running-In-Place Way", then it is in your source tree, + in the "bin" subdirectory thereof. If you installed in one of the other + three ways, then it has been installed into your operating system's + filesystem, perhaps in "/usr/bin" on Unix, or in "C:\Python25\Scripts" on + Window. + + The "tahoe" utility is used to create, start, and stop nodes. Each node + lives in a separate base directory, inside of which you can add files to + configure and control the node. Nodes also read and write files within that + directory. + + A grid consists of a single central 'introducer and vdrive' node and one or + more 'client' nodes. If you are joining an existing grid, the + introducer-and-vdrive node will already be running, and you'll just need to + create a client node. If you're creating a brand new grid, you'll need to + create both an introducer-and-vdrive and a client (and then invite other + people to create their own client nodes and join your grid). + + The introducer (-and-vdrive) node is constructed by running 'tahoe + create-introducer --basedir $HERE'. Once constructed, you can start the + introducer by running 'tahoe start --basedir $HERE' (or, if you are already + in the introducer's base directory, just type 'tahoe start'). Inside that + base directory, there will be a pair of files 'introducer.furl' and + 'vdrive.furl'. Make a copy of these, as they'll be needed on the client + nodes. (If you want to use a publically available test grid, get the + introducer.furl and vdrive.furl files from + http://allmydata.org/trac/tahoe/wiki/TestGrid instead of running your own + introducer.) + + To construct a client node, pick a new working directory for it, then run + 'tahoe create-client --basedir $HERE'. Copy the two .furl files from the + introducer into this new directory, then run 'tahoe start --basedir $HERE'. + After that, the client node should be off and running. The first thing it + will do is connect to the introducer and introduce itself to all other nodes + on the grid. You can follow its progress by looking at the + $HERE/logs/twistd.log file. + + create-client will put port specification into a file named $HERE/webport, + unless overridden by the --webport option to create-client. The presence of + a port specification in the webport file prompts the client node to run a + webserver on the desired port, through which you can view, upload, download, + and delete files. The contents of the webport file is actually a "strports + specification", defined in + http://twistedmatrix.com/documents/current/api/twisted.application.strports.html + , so you can have it only listen on a local interface by writing + "tcp:8123:interface=127.0.0.1" to this file (that's what create-client does + by default), or make it use SSL by writing + "ssl:8123:privateKey=mykey.pem:certKey=cert.pem" instead. + + A client node directory can also be created without installing the code + first. Just use 'make create-client', and a new directory named 'CLIENTDIR' + will be created inside the top of the source tree. Copy the relevant .furl + files in, set the webport, then start the node by using 'make start-client'. + To stop it again, use 'make stop-client'. Similar makefile targets exist + for making and running an introducer node. + + If you are behind a firewall and you can configure your firewall to forward + TCP connections on a port to the computer running your Tahoe node, then you + can configure the Tahoe node to announce itself as being available on that + IP address and port. The way to do this is to create a file named + $HERE/advertised_ip_addresses, in which you can put IP addresses and port + numbers in "dotted-quad:port" form, e.g. "209.97.232.113:1345". You can put + multiple IP-address-and-port-number entries into this file, on separate + lines. + + There is a public grid available for testing. The necessary .furl files are + in docs/testgrid/*.furl . More information is available on + http://allmydata.org/trac/tahoe/wiki/TestGrid . + The code is retrievable using the darcs revision control tool by running the following command: -- 2.37.2
