The latest release is currently v1.10. I don't know whether that release has been
packaged for Fedora. If not, then you can do:

  # if git is not installed:
  # sudo apt-get install git
  git clone -b allmydata-tahoe-1.10.0 https://github.com/tahoe-lafs/tahoe-lafs.git
  cd tahoe-lafs
  python setup.py build
  bin/tahoe --version-and-path

If you want to run the latest master (which is quite stable), then use the following
'git clone' command in place of the one above:

  git clone https://github.com/tahoe-lafs/tahoe-lafs.git

That will create a client that has the same tubid as the one on the first computer,
which may cause problems if you use both simultaneously. It's better to do this:

  bin/tahoe create-client
  # copy across ~/.tahoe/private/aliases and ~/.tahoe/tahoe.cfg
