  27. == OVERVIEW ==
  28. OpenSim is a BSD Licensed Open Source project to develop a functioning
  29. virtual worlds server platform capable of supporting multiple clients
  30. and servers in a heterogeneous grid structure. OpenSim is written in
  31. C#, and can run under Mono or the Microsoft .NET runtimes.
  32. This is considered an alpha release. Some stuff works, a lot
  33. doesn't. If it breaks, you get to keep *both* pieces.
  34. == Installation on Windows ==
  35. Prereqs:
  36. * Load OpenSim.sln into Visual Studio .NET and build the solution.
  37. * chdir bin
  38. * OpenSim.exe
  39. See configuring OpenSim
  40. == Installation on Linux ==
  41. Prereqs:
  42. * Mono >= 1.2.3.1
  43. * Nant >= 0.85
  44. * sqlite3
  45. From the distribution type:
  46. * nant
  47. * cd bin
  48. * mono ./OpenSim.exe
  49. See configuring OpenSim
  50. == Configuring OpenSim ==
  51. When OpenSim starts for the first time, you will be prompted with a
  52. series of questions that look something like:
  53. [09-17 03:54:40] DEFAULT REGION CONFIG: Simulator Name [OpenSim Test]:
  54. At each of these you must provide you own value or just hit enter to
  55. take the default (in this case "OpenSim Test").
  56. YOUR SIM WILL NOT BE STARTED UNTIL YOU ANSWER ALL QUESTIONS
  57. Once you are presented with a prompt that looks like:
  58. Region# :
  59. You have successfully started OpenSim.
  60. == Connecting to your OpenSim ==
  61. By default your sim will be running on http://127.0.0.1:9000. To use
  62. your OpenSim add -loginuri http://127.0.0.1:9000 to your second life
  63. client (running on the same machine as your OpenSim).
  64. == More Information on OpenSim ==
  65. More extensive information on building, running, and configuring
  66. OpenSim, as well as how to report bugs, and participate in the OpenSim
  67. project can always be found at http://opensimulator.org.
  68. Thanks for trying OpenSim, we hope it was a pleasant experience.
