  1. Welcome to OpenSim!
  2. Version 0.5
  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
  9. doesn't. 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 >= 1.2.3.1
  19. * Nant >= 0.85
  20. * sqlite3
  21. From the distribution type:
  22. * nant
  23. * cd bin
  24. * mono ./OpenSim.exe
  25. See configuring OpenSim
  26. == Configuring OpenSim ==
  27. When OpenSim starts for the first time, you will be prompted with a
  28. series of questions that look something like:
  29. [09-17 03:54:40] DEFAULT REGION CONFIG: Simulator Name [OpenSim Test]:
  30. At each of these you must provide you own value or just hit enter to
  31. take the default (in this case "OpenSim Test").
  32. YOUR SIM WILL NOT BE STARTED UNTIL YOU ANSWER ALL QUESTIONS
  33. Once you are presented with a prompt that looks like:
  34. Region# :
  35. You have successfully started OpenSim.
  36. == Connecting to your OpenSim ==
  37. By default your sim will be running on http://127.0.0.1:9000. To use
  38. your OpenSim add -loginuri http://127.0.0.1:9000 to your second life
  39. client (running on the same machine as your OpenSim).
  40. == More Information on OpenSim ==
  41. More extensive information on building, running, and configuring
  42. OpenSim, as well as how to report bugs, and participate in the OpenSim
  43. project can always be found at http://opensimulator.org.
  44. Thanks for trying OpenSim, we hope it was a pleasant experience.
