Dependencies

Revision as of 08:39, 2 December 2008

In addition to the OpenSim code itself, certain other packages need to be installed on different platforms in order to get OpenSim binaries to run.

As well as the information on this page (which should be expanded), you may find more information on dependencies in Build Instructions though this will also contain dependencies required only for building. This are also more hints in Troubleshooting

Windows

I don't believe any extra packages need to be installed to get the binaries running. More information on this would be most welcome

Linux

The easiest plaform to get running on the Linux side is Ubuntu 8.10, 32bit. This is what most of the developers running Linux use. If you are looking for the quick path, start there.

Note: For people who have mono 2.0.1 or later installed, it may not be necessary to install the libmono-oracle2.0-cil package detailed below separately.

Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy)

You can use the built in packages for mono. However, for better performance, you may want to upgrade mono to 1.9.1 (Other simple method)

sudo apt-get install subversion nant mono-gmcs libmono-microsoft8.0-cil \
     libmono-system-runtime2.0-cil libgdiplus libmono-i18n2.0-cil libmono-oracle2.0-cil ruby

Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid)

sudo apt-get install subversion nant mono-gmcs libmono-microsoft8.0-cil \
     libmono-system-runtime2.0-cil libgdiplus libmono-i18n2.0-cil libmono-oracle2.0-cil ruby
