Run python setup.py build to generate the tahoe executable in a subdirectory of the current directory named bin. This will download and build anything you need from various websites.

On Windows, the build step might tell you to open a new Command Prompt (or, on XP and earlier, to log out and back in again). This is needed the first time you set up Tahoe-LAFS on a particular installation of Windows.
