- <h1>INSTALLING TAHOE</h1>
+ <h1>How To Install Tahoe</h1>
<p>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 <a href="install-details.html">install-details.html</a>.
- <h2>DEPENDENCIES</h2>
+ <h2>Satisfy the Dependencies</h2>
<p>Prior to installing Tahoe the following must be installed:
</ol>
- <h2>GET THE SOURCE CODE</h2>
+ <h2>Get the Source Code</h2>
<p>Tarballs of the source code are available at:
<pre><a href="http://allmydata.org/source/tahoe/">http://allmydata.org/source/tahoe/</a></pre></p>
- <h2>INSTALL</h2>
+ <h2>Install</h2>
<p>Unpack the tarball and cd into the top-level directory.</p>
<p>Run <cite>bin/tahoe --version</cite> to verify that the executable tool runs and prints out the right version number (the "allmydata" version number is the version number of the Tahoe package).</p>
- <h2>RUN</h2>
+ <h2>Run</h2>
<p>Now you have the Tahoe source code installed and are ready to use it to form a decentralized filesystem. See <a href="running.html">running.html</a> for instructions.</p>
-This is how to run a Tahoe node or a complete Tahoe grid. First you
-have to install the Tahoe source code, as documented
-in <a href="install.html">install.html</a>.
-
-
-RUNNING:
-
-The <pre>tahoe</pre> executable 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 the node. Nodes also read and write
-files within that directory.
-
-A grid consists of a single Introducer and one or more nodes. If you
-are creating a new grid, you'll need to create both an Introducer and
-a node (and then invite other people to create their own nodes and
-join your grid). If you are joining an existing grid (such
-as <a href="http://XXX">the public test grid</a>), the Introducer will
-already be running, and you'll need to create a node.
-
-To construct an introducer, create a new empty base directory for it
-(the name of the directory is up to you) and cd into that directory.
-Now run <pre>tahoe create-introducer</pre>. Now start the introducer
-by running <pre>tahoe start</pre>. After it starts, there will be a
-file named <pre>introducer.furl</pre> in that base directory. This
-file contains the URL which the nodes must use in order to connect to
-this introducer.
-
-To construct a node, create a new empty base directory (the name of
-the directory is up to you) and cd into that directory. Now
-run <pre>tahoe create-client</pre>. Acquire a copy of
-the <pre>introducer.furl</pre> from the introducer and put it into
-this directory, then run <pre>tahoe start</pre>. After that, the node
-should be off and running. The first thing it will do is connect to
-the introducer and get itself connected to all other nodes on the
-grid.
-
-Point your web browser
-to <a href="http://127.0.0.1:8123">http://127.0.0.1:8123</a> to use
-this node.
