2. Follow these instructions to build on Windows: [InstallOnWindows](InstallOnWindows).
Q. Does Tahoe-LAFS work on Mac OS X?
A: Yes. Follow [the standard install instructions](http://allmydata.org/source/tahoe-lafs/trunk/docs/install.html) on Mac OS X and it will result in a working command-line tool on Mac OS X just as it does on other Unixes. (This includes the Web User Interface, or "WUI". See the instructions for details.) In addition there is code to generate executables and .dmg packages, but this code is not currently working. See the "mac" targets [in the Makefile]source:Makefile@#L440.
