4. Open a command prompt and cd to the top of the Tahoe tree (e.g. cd \tahoe).
5. Run "python setup.py build". Wait a bit until it stops working. Note that you need a working network connection because it will download various dependencies.
5. Run "C:\Python26\python setup.py build". Wait a bit until it stops working. Note that you need a working network connection because it will download various dependencies.
6. Run "python setup.py install". Wait a bit until it stops working. Again, you may need a working network connection.
6. Run "C:\Python26\python setup.py install". Wait a bit until it stops working. Again, you may need a working network connection.
7. Run "tahoe create-client --basedir C:\tahoebase". Choose an appropriate base directory.
7. Run "C:\Python26\Scripts\tahoe create-client --basedir C:\tahoebase". Choose an appropriate base directory.
8. Run "notepad C:\tahoebase\tahoe.cfg" to edit your config file. Paste in the FURL of the introducer for the grid you want to connect to. The test grid FURL is pb://todjw7qkb4dgq4fkeo7cqydcu5vneioh@tahoecs2.allmydata.com:52106/introducer.
9. Run "tahoe start --basedir C:\taboebase". Your node will start running and connect to the grid. The Windows firewall may ask whether or not to allow python to make network connections. Say yes.

If the build or install steps result in an error that says a compiler is needed, install the MinGW C/C++ compiler as follows:
1. Download and install MinGW from http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/Automated%20MinGW%20Installer/MinGW%205.1.4/MinGW-5.1.4.exe/download. The installer will prompt you for what components to install. You need the base components plus g++.
2. Configure distutils to use MinGW. To configure distutils to use mingw32, create a file called "distutils.cfg" in C:\Python26\Libs\distutils, and put in that file:
```
[build]
compiler=mingw32
```
3. Add the MinGW binary path to your Path variable. To do that, go to the control panel (classic view), double-click "System", click on the "Advanced" tab, click on the "Environment Variables" button, scroll down to the "Path" variable in the "System Variables" list, double-click it, and append ";C:\MinGW\bin" to the path.
After installing the compilers, repeat the "build" and "install" steps.
