If the Tahoe-LAFS bin directory is not on your PATH, then + in all the command lines below, specify the full path to bin/tahoe.

To construct a client node, run - "path-to-the-tahoe-bin-directory/tahoe - create-client", which will create ~/.tahoe to be the + "tahoe create-client", which will create ~/.tahoe to be the node's base directory. Acquire a copy of the introducer.furl from the introducer and put it into this directory, then use - "path-to-the-tahoe-bin-directory/tahoe - run". After that, the node should be off and running. The first + "tahoe run". 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. By default, a node will serve as a storage node, meaning that it offers its disk space to other nodes. To configure other behavior, see configuration.txt.

To construct an introducer, create a new base directory for it (the name of the directory is up to you), cd into it, and run - "path-to-the-tahoe-bin-directory/tahoe - create-introducer .". Now run the introducer using + "tahoe create-introducer .". Now run the introducer using "tahoe start .". After it starts, it will write a file named introducer.furl in that base directory. This file contains the URL the other nodes must use in order to connect to this introducer.

The "tahoe run" command above will run the node in the foreground. On Unix, you can run it in the background instead by using the "tahoe start" command. To stop a node started in this way, use "tahoe stop". tahoe --help gives a summary of all commands.

See configuration.txt for more details about how to configure Tahoe-LAFS, including how to get other clients to connect to your node if it is behind a firewall or NAT device.
