I'm trying to have opensimulator in the Ubuntu universe repositories. The [[UnofficialDebPackages|unofficial .deb packages]] linked in this wiki are ok for regular installs but not for ubuntu inclusion, so I&nbsp;have created new source packages. <br>
+
#Redirect [[Dependencies#Ubuntu]]
 
+
 
+
== Pros ==
+
 
+
*Source packages that compile into binary. Suitable for a debian based distro.<br>
+
*They package an stable release (0.6.7). Good if you need some stability.<br>
+
*When accepted (still waiting for approval...), integrated in the Ubuntu universe repositories. This means a big new userbase that can easily find and test the software. We expect to port it to other .deb based distros <br>
+
*Focus in integrating the software with the operating system rather than adding new features, that can allow out-of-the-box configuration and deployment of servers.<br>
+
*It is not only Ubuntu, but all .deb based distributions.<br>
+
 
+
 
+
== Cons ==
+
+
*You will have to wait a bit more for "big" releases. Use the regular binary packages for that.<br>
+
 
+
 
+
 
+
== Installation ==
+
 
+
If you want to install them for testing just:
+
 
+
Copy the lines below and add them to your system's software sources.
+
<blockquote>
+
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/shankao/opensimulator/ubuntu karmic main
+
</blockquote>
+
<blockquote>
+
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/shankao/opensimulator/ubuntu karmic main
+
</blockquote>
+
Then, you can use your preferred package manager (i.e. synaptic, apt-get, aptitude) to install the program, marked as opensimulator-server.
+
 
+
 
+
== Running the server ==
+
 
+
After installing the software:
+
 
+
* ''cd /usr/lib/opensimulator''
+
* Run as root: "''mono OpenSim.exe''". You can use ''sudo'' for this.
+
 
+
Logs go to /var/log/opensimulator and there are some docs in /usr/share/doc/opensimulator-server/
