From: Zooko O'Whielacronx This is the default procedure to install from source. It has been verified to work on Windows, Cygwin, Mac, Linux, and Solaris. It's likely to work on other platforms. For more details and for alternative installation procedures, please see install-details.html.

+ Prior to installing Tahoe the following must be installed:
- If you are building for Windows or for Cygwin, the Cygwin version
- of gcc will work.
+ If you are building for Windows or for Cygwin (which are two different platforns), the Cygwin version of gcc will work (it can be used to build executable for either of those platforms). Note that Tahoe does not require the entire Zope package, merely the much smaller zope.interface component. Installing Twisted from the Twisted "sumo" source tarball works on all supported platforms. This one is required only if you are installing on Windows native. (It is not required if you are installing on Linux, Mac, Solaris, Cygwin, or any other platform.) Tarballs of the source code are available at:

-8. Crypto++, including development
- headers (cryptography library)

Unpack the tarball and cd into the top-level directory.
+Run make check-deps which verifies that all of the dependencies listed above are installed.
-INSTALL: +Run make to build Tahoe and some included libraries and install the tahoe executable into a subdirectory of the current directory named bin.
-Unpack the tarball and cd into the top-level directory. +Run make test to verify that it built correctly and passes all tests.

Now you have the Tahoe source code installed and are ready to use it to form a decentralized filesystem. See running.html for instructions.
