Installation trouble Mac OS X 10.10.5

Dear BG:

Welcome!

> First a note, quickstart.rst has to be adapted for Mac. Python needs to point to the setup.py script inside the App package, so I adapted the build instruction.

It looks like you missed the part of quickstart.rst that said "cd into
the top-level directory." So instead of:

python /allmydata-tahoe-1.10.2/setup.py build

You were supposed to do two commands, one after the other:

cd /allmydata-tahoe-1.10.2
python setup.py build

I submitted a patch to quickstart.rst which would hopefully make this
a little clearer for the next person:
https://github.com/zooko/tahoe-lafs/commit/e3f47919d0103955787be3b2290c76a5eff5989d

Using "brew" is not expected to work to install Tahoe.

Please let us know if this helps!

Sincerely,

Zooko
