+For those in a hurry.
+---------------------
+
+On a recent Debian based Linux (Debian, Devuan, Ubuntu, Mint, ...)
+terminal, run the following command -
+
+./InstallItAll.sh
+
+This will install the prerequisites (MariaDB, monit, MONO, tmux,
+uuid-runtime); create a database in MariaDB called opensim_SC and a
+database user called opensim_SC with a random password; add a Linux user
+to your system called opensimsc; create the /opt/opensim_SC directory to
+run it all from; copy everything to /opt/opensim_SC/opensim-SC_0.9.0.1;
+setup the directory structure needed to run it all; create some default
+configuration files; build OpenSim-SC; and finally change ownership and
+file permissions for everything.
+
+Next go to /opt/opensim_SC/current/scripts/install and run -
+
+sudo ./create_sim.sh
+
+This will create a randomly named sim at a randomly chosen position.  Or
+for something less random -
+
+sudo ./create_sim.sh "My new sim" "1234,5678"
+
+At this point /opt/opensim_SC/config/config.ini will be a symlink
+pointing to config_localhost.ini, which is for a standalone sim.  If you
+want your new random sim to be part of Infinite Grid (IG) or Misfitz Grid
+(MG) then you'll have to change that syml/ink to point to config_IG.ini or
+config_MG.ini respectively.
+
+/opt/opensim_SC/config/sim01 now contains the aactual configuration of
+your randomly created sim.  Edit the .xml file to make that sim a little
+less random.
+
+Finally run -
+
+cd /opt/opensim_SC/config/sim01
+./start-sim
+
+To actually startup your sim.
