Hiya! I just got tahoe installed on OSX, and think the instructions could do with update.
1) Firstly, there's no section for it at all here: https://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/wiki/Installation It is a very popular client Unix OS these days, so I think worth having explicitly. 2) I started with the source code, and had little luck. In the end my best luck was with pip. I think anyway, for lots of users, it would be good to clearly show that tahoe is in pip on that page. It is a pretty useful installation system. 3) I used this command - I explicitly use pip2, as I have Python 3 installed too: $ pip2 install --user allmydata-tahoe 4) I got this error with ffi.h: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/22875270/error-installing-bcrypt-with-pip-on-os-x-cant-find-ffi-h-libffi-is-installed/25854749#25854749 These instructions from that StackOverflow question seem to work: $ brew install pkg-config libffi $ export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/Cellar/libffi/3.0.13/lib/pkgconfig/ 5) The final binary for user installs in pip on OSX these days ends up in here ~/Library/Python/2.7/bin/tahoe, which isn't on the PATH by default.
