Installation
The Easy Way

To install Tahoe-LAFS for I2P, first download the pre-patched tahoe bundle( http://echelon.i2p/tahoelafs/windows/tahoe_lafs183_win32.7z) (8.5MB).
While that.s downloading, download and install the Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package (x86)
(x64) (only needed if you don not already have it.most will already have this installed).

The .bundle. (tahoe-lafs183_win32.7z) is a 7-zip archive and can be opened with 7-zip or Winrar. Extract this archive to some place on your 
hard drive (c:\ is recommended).

Once it.s extracted, open a Command Prompt (Start -> Run; cmd [enter]) and change to the folder that you extracted to. Type tahoe --version. 
You should see output like the following:

C:\tahoe-lafs183>tahoe --version
c:\tahoe-lafs183\zope.interface-3.8.0-py2.6-win32.egg\zope\interface\interface.py:688: UserWarning: Hashing uninitialized InterfaceClass instance

If so, congrats! You should now have a copy of Tahoe working in Windows. :) You may wish to add the tahoe folder to your system path so that 
you that you won.t need to use the full path or change to the tahoe folder (TODO: Explain how).
