Hello fanona grace:<br>
<br>
I'm sorry you've been having trouble installing the software. Could<br>
you give me the hyperlink to the instructions or documentation that<br>
you've been following?<br>
<br>
According to the "Frequently Asked Questions" page on the wiki<br>
(<a href="https://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/wiki/FAQ#Q7_mac_os_x" target="_blank">https://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/wiki/FAQ#Q7_mac_os_x</a>) it is<br>
possible to install Tahoe-LAFS on Mac OS X by following these<br>
instructions: <a href="https://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/browser/docs/quickstart.rst" target="_blank">https://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/browser/docs/quickstart.rst</a><br>
<br>
Are those the instructions that you were attempting to follow when you<br>
got stuck?<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
<br>
Zooko<br>
