## Prerequisites
You'll need [darcs](http://wiki.darcs.net/Binaries) and [buildbot](http://trac.buildbot.net/wiki/DownloadInstall) before you can proceed.
You'll need [git](http://git-scm.com/) and [buildbot-slave](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, or chroot. 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.
You can use other mechanisms to limit the privileges available to the buildbot, such as jail, chroot, or Solaris Zones. You can optionally use a different user account or other privilege-limiting mechanisms to keep the tahoe-lafs, pycryptopp, and zfec buildslaves (see below) separated.
## Name The Buildslave
Choose a name for your buildslave which will fit into the list of buildslave names: <http://tahoe-lafs.org/buildbot/buildslaves> .
Choose a name for your buildslave which will fit into the list of buildslave names: [//buildbot-tahoe-lafs/buildslaves].
A hostname would be a good choice.
## Get a Password
Email Zooko (zooko_at_zooko_dot_com) and ask for a password.
Email Brian (warner-tahoe_at_lothar_dot_com) and ask for a password.
## Create a Buildslave
Execute the following commands:
* Tahoe-LAFS: `buildbot create-slave $BASEDIR_TAHOE tahoe-lafs.org:9987 $SLAVENAME $PASSWORD`
* Zfec: `buildbot create-slave $BASEDIR_ZFEC tahoe-lafs.org:12987 $SLAVENAME $PASSWORD`
* Pycryptopp: `buildbot create-slave $BASEDIR_PYCRYPTOPP tahoe-lafs.org:10998 $SLAVENAME $PASSWORD`
* tahoe-lafs: `buildbot create-slave $BASEDIR_TAHOE tahoe-lafs.org:9987 $SLAVENAME $PASSWORD`
* zfec: `buildbot create-slave $BASEDIR_ZFEC tahoe-lafs.org:12987 $SLAVENAME $PASSWORD`
* pycryptopp: `buildbot create-slave $BASEDIR_PYCRYPTOPP tahoe-lafs.org:10998 $SLAVENAME $PASSWORD`
Those three use the same $SLAVENAME, $PASSWORD and hostname, but a different $BASEDIR and a different port number.
For the $BASEDIR your can use whatever directory you want.
Use a different user account for tahoe-lafs, pycryptopp, and zfec buildslaves.
Then `buildbot start $BASEDIR`.
## Monitor Output
Okay, once you've gotten all this working then we'll see your machine on the [buildbot pages](http://tahoe-lafs.org/buildbot/waterfall?show_events=true) and we'll see how well Tahoe-LAFS passes unit tests on your platform.
