  1. Welcome to OpenSim!
  2. Version 0.6.x
  3. == OVERVIEW ==
  4. OpenSim is a BSD Licensed Open Source project to develop a functioning
  5. virtual worlds server platform capable of supporting multiple clients
  6. and servers in a heterogeneous grid structure. OpenSim is written in
  7. C#, and can run under Mono or the Microsoft .NET runtimes.
  8. This is considered an alpha release. Some stuff works, a lot doesn't.
  9. If it breaks, you get to keep *both* pieces.
  10. == Installation on Windows ==
  11. Prereqs:
  12. * Load OpenSim.sln into Visual Studio .NET and build the solution.
  13. * chdir bin
  14. * OpenSim.exe
  15. See configuring OpenSim
  16. == Installation on Linux ==
  17. Prereqs:
  18. * Mono >= 2.0.1 (>= 2.4.2 is better)
  19. * Nant >= 0.86beta
  20. * sqlite3 or mysql 5.x (you'll need a back end database)
  21. From the distribution type:
  22. * ./runprebuild.sh
  23. * nant
  24. * cd bin
  25. * mono ./OpenSim.exe
  26. See configuring OpenSim
  27. == Configuring OpenSim ==
  28. When OpenSim starts for the first time, you will be prompted with a
  29. series of questions that look something like:
  30. [09-17 03:54:40] DEFAULT REGION CONFIG: Simulator Name [OpenSim Test]:
  31. At each of these you must provide you own value or just hit enter to
  32. take the default (in this case "OpenSim Test").
  33. YOUR SIM WILL NOT BE STARTED UNTIL YOU ANSWER ALL QUESTIONS
  34. Once you are presented with a prompt that looks like:
  35. Region# :
  36. You have successfully started OpenSim.
  37. == Connecting to your OpenSim ==
  38. By default your sim will be running on http://127.0.0.1:9000. To use
  39. your OpenSim add -loginuri http://127.0.0.1:9000 to your second life
  40. client (running on the same machine as your OpenSim).
  41. == Bug reports ==
  42. In the likely event of bugs biting you (err, your OpenSim) we
  43. encourage you to see whether the problem has already been reported on
  44. the OpenSim mantis system. You can find the OpenSim mantis system at
  45. http://opensimulator.org/mantis/main_page.php
  46. If your bug has already been reported, you might want to add to the
  47. bug description and supply additional information.
  48. If your bug has not been reported yet, file a bug report ("opening a
  49. mantis"). Useful information to include:
  50. * description of what went wrong
  51. * stack trace
  52. * OpenSim.log (attach as file)
  53. * OpenSim.ini (attach as file)
  54. * if running under mono: run OpenSim.exe with the "--debug" flag:
  55. mono --debug OpenSim.exe
  56. == More Information on OpenSim ==
  57. More extensive information on building, running, and configuring
  58. OpenSim, as well as how to report bugs, and participate in the OpenSim
  59. project can always be found at http://opensimulator.org.
  60. Thanks for trying OpenSim, we hope it is a pleasant experience.
