# Debian Packages

Precompiled Tahoe packages are available for Debian-like systems, using

recent releases of Debian or Ubuntu. There are also precompiled packages for

## Building From Source On Debian Systems
|
||||
|
||||
Many of Tahoe's build dependencies can be satisfied by first installing
|
||||
certain debian packages: simplejson is one of these. Some debian/ubuntu
|
||||
platforms do not provide the necessary .egg-info metadata with their
|
||||
packages, so the Tahoe build process may not believe they are present. Some
|
||||
Tahoe dependencies are not present in most debian systems (such as foolscap
|
||||
and zfec): debs for these are made available in the APT repository described
|
||||
above.
|
||||
|
||||
The Tahoe build process will acquire (via setuptools) most of the libraries
|
||||
that it needs to run and which are not already present in the build
|
||||
environment).
|
||||
certain debian packages, and the Tahoe build process will download and build
|
||||
many of the others. Please see source:docs/debian.txt for details about
|
||||
building Tahoe on a debian-based system.

## Building a Debian Package
|
||||
|
||||
Please see source:docs/debian.txt for details about building your own debian
|
||||
packages from a Tahoe source tree.
|
||||
|
||||
Note that this is entirely optional. Tahoe will run just fine from a source
|
||||
tree: creating a debian package is merely a convenience for sysadmins to help
|
||||
them manage large numbers of Tahoe nodes with established tools like apt-get.
