## Prerequisites
> You'll need [darcs](http://wiki.darcs.net/Binaries) and [buildbot](http://trac.buildbot.net/wiki/DownloadInstall) before you can proceed.
## Configuration
> Create a user account with low privileges to run buildbot.
### Optional Configurations
> You can use other mechanisms to lock buildbot down like jail,
chroot, etc. David Abrahams uses Solaris Zones to contain his
buildslaves. Brian Warner and the other buildbot maintainers have been hacking on some
tricks to set up your buildslaves inside a full virtual machine so
that you can have a pristine machine for every build.

Step 3: choose a name for your buildslave which will fit into the
list of buildslave names: <http://tahoe-lafs.org/buildbot/buildslaves> .
