-The Tahoe build process will download and install many of its dependencies
-when you run {{{make}}} or {{{setup.py build_tahoe}}}. The base set of
-functionality that it cannot build on its own are provided by the following
-debian packages, so you must have these installed before you will be able
-to do much of anything. (note that the authoritative list of packages is in the
-"{{{Build-Depends:}}}" clause of
-[source:misc/sid/debian/control misc/sid/debian/control]):
+Tahoe is primarily developed on Debian/Ubuntu machines. You can either build
+from source (as described by this page), or download pre-compiled debian
+packages for several distributions. See the DownloadDebianPackages page for
+details.

- * debhelper
- * cdbs
- * python-central
- * python-setuptools
- * python
- * python-dev

-In addition, to use the "{{{make deb-PLATFORM-head}}}" target, you will also
-need the "debchange" utility from the "devscripts" package, and the
-"fakeroot" package.

-To actually run a Tahoe node from a debian package, you will need the following
-supporting libraries installed. (again, the authoritative list of packages
-is in the {{{Depends:}}} clause of
-[source:misc/sid/debian/control misc/sid/debian/control])

- * python-pyopenssl

- * python-simplejson
- * python-zfec

-Even if you don't intend to create a Tahoe .deb package, you can install the
-supporting libraries from debian packages to reduce the build-time
-download-and-compile work.

-Please read DownloadDebianPackages if you just want to install pre-compiled debian
-packages of the latest "trunk" source code.
