This is needed the first time you set up Tahoe-LAFS on a particular installation of Windows. +If you see an error like ``fatal error: Python.h: No such file or directory`` +while compiling the dependencies, you need the Python development headers. If +you are on a Debian or Ubuntu system, you can install them with ``sudo +apt-get install python-dev``. On RedHat/Fedora, install ``python-devel``. + Run "``bin/tahoe --version``" (on Windows, "``bin\tahoe --version``") to verify that the executable tool prints out the right version number after "``allmydata-tahoe:``".
