OpenSim is written in -C#, and can run under Mono or the Microsoft .NET runtimes. - -This is considered an alpha release. Some stuff works, a lot doesn't. -If it breaks, you get to keep *both* pieces. - -# Compiling OpenSim - -Please see BUILDING.md if you downloaded a source distribution and -need to build OpenSim before running it. - -# Running OpenSim on Windows - -You will need .NET 4.0 installed to run OpenSimulator. - -We recommend that you run OpenSim from a command prompt on Windows in order -to capture any errors. - -To run OpenSim from a command prompt - - * cd to the bin/ directory where you unpacked OpenSim - * run OpenSim.exe - -Now see the "Configuring OpenSim" section - -# Running OpenSim on Linux - -You will need Mono >= 2.10.8.1 to run OpenSimulator. On some Linux distributions you -may need to install additional packages. See http://opensimulator.org/wiki/Dependencies -for more information. - -To run OpenSim, from the unpacked distribution type: - - * cd bin - * mono OpenSim.exe - -Now see the "Configuring OpenSim" section - -# Configuring OpenSim - -When OpenSim starts for the first time, you will be prompted with a -series of questions that look something like: - - [09-17 03:54:40] DEFAULT REGION CONFIG: Simulator Name [OpenSim Test]: - -For all the options except simulator name, you can safely hit enter to accept -the default if you want to connect using a client on the same machine or over -your local network. - -You will then be asked "Do you wish to join an existing estate?". If you're -starting OpenSim for the first time then answer no (which is the default) and -provide an estate name. - -Shortly afterwards, you will then be asked to enter an estate owner first name, -last name, password and e-mail (which can be left blank). Do not forget these -details, since initially only this account will be able to manage your region -in-world. You can also use these details to perform your first login. - -Once you are presented with a prompt that looks like: - - Region (My region name) # - -You have successfully started OpenSim. - -If you want to create another user account to login rather than the estate -account, then type "create user" on the OpenSim console and follow the prompts. - -Helpful resources: - * http://opensimulator.org/wiki/Configuration - * http://opensimulator.org/wiki/Configuring_Regions - -# Connecting to your OpenSim - -By default your sim will be available for login on port 9000. You can login by -adding -loginuri http://127.0.0.1:9000 to the command that starts Second Life -(e.g. in the Target: box of the client icon properties on Windows). You can -also login using the network IP address of the machine running OpenSim (e.g. -http://192.168.1.2:9000) - -To login, use the avatar details that you gave for your estate ownership or the -one you set up using the "create user" command. - -# Bug reports - -In the very likely event of bugs biting you (err, your OpenSim) we -encourage you to see whether the problem has already been reported on -the [OpenSim mantis system](http://opensimulator.org/mantis/main_page.php). - -If your bug has already been reported, you might want to add to the -bug description and supply additional information. - -If your bug has not been reported yet, file a bug report ("opening a -mantis"). Useful information to include: - * description of what went wrong - * stack trace - * OpenSim.log (attach as file) - * OpenSim.ini (attach as file) - * if running under mono: run OpenSim.exe with the "--debug" flag: - - mono --debug OpenSim.exe - -# More Information on OpenSim - -More extensive information on building, running, and configuring -OpenSim, as well as how to report bugs, and participate in the OpenSim -project can always be found at http://opensimulator.org. - -Thanks for trying OpenSim, we hope it is a pleasant experience. - - -- cgit v1.1
