# Welcome to Allmydata "Tahoe"
|
||||
The Allmydata "Tahoe" project is a secure, distributed, fault-tolerant
|
||||
storage grid, available under a free-software licence.
|
||||
Welcome to the Tahoe project, a secure, decentralized,
|
||||
fault-tolerant filesystem. All of the source code is available
|
||||
under a Free Software, Open Source licence.
|
||||
|
||||
You can store files in the grid and retrieve them with a
|
||||
cryptographically generated URI that securely identifies and decrypts that
|
||||
file. You can also organize files with filenames and directories, in the
|
||||
familiar style. The basic idea is that the data in this storage grid is
|
||||
spread over all participating nodes, using an algorithm that can recover
|
||||
the data even if a majority of the nodes are no longer available.
|
||||
This filesystem is encrypted and spread over multiple peers in
|
||||
such a way that it remains available even when some of the
|
||||
peers are unavailable, malfunctioning, or malicious.
|
||||
|
||||
The current code base is targeted at hackers and users who are
|
||||
willing to use a minimal, text-oriented web user interface.
|
||||
willing to use command-line tools or a hacker-oriented web user
|
||||
interface.
|
||||
|
||||
## Get Started
|
||||
[Installing Tahoe](http://allmydata.org/source/tahoe/trunk/docs/install.html) tells how to install the software, how to run a node than can upload and download files, and how to set up your own private grid.
