<font color="#ff0000">'''Note 1:'''</font> If you are reading this on any site but http://www.opensimulator.org, you might not be actually downloading OpenSimulator.org software. Please check your browser URL before proceeding any further.
  
<font color="#ff0000">'''Please note:'''</font> As OpenSim is still at an alpha code maturity stage, there is absolutely no guarantee that functionality works or is stable, even in the numbered releases. Certain features may not work either because the code is in rapid evolution, or because functionality expected by the Linden Labs Second Life viewer has simply not been implemented yet. However, constructive feedback is still welcomed.  
+
<font color="#ff0000">'''Note 2:'''</font> Depending on what you want to do with OpenSimulator, setting it up and keeping it running will require a fair amount of technical knowledge. After downloading OpenSim, please consult the several instruction manuals on this Wiki and elsewhere. Please be aware that the learning curve for operating OpenSimulator is steep.
  
Also, please be aware that setting up OpenSim requires a high level of technical knowledge.  WE CANNOT HANDHOLD YOU THROUGH THIS PROCESS.
+
<font color="#ff0000">'''Note 3:'''</font> Many Linux distros (including Ubuntu) ship with only the "mono-runtime" package installed, however you need to install "mono-complete" for some OpenSimulator features such as LSL script commands.

<font color="#ff0000">'''Note 4:'''</font> OpenSimulator is made available under the [[BSD License]].  Downloaders of the code also receive an additional [[IP Rights Grant]] for any intellectual property licensed to OpenSimulator under the terms of the [[Contributions_Policy#OpenSimulator_Licensing_Conditions|Contribution Agreements]].
  
Binary packages of the latest OpenSim release are provided in .zip or .tar.gz form - these are identical apart from the compression format. Once you've unzipped/untarred these you'll be able to run OpenSim 'out of the box' in standalone mode - no code compilation required.

Windows users may need to unblock the downloaded archives, or windows my refuse to execute the programs.

Right click the archive file, see Properties, and mark Unblock at end if present.
  
The current release is '''0.6.8''' (released on 23rd December 2009) and can be downloaded at:

You can find previous releases of OpenSim at http://dist.opensimulator.org.  Most of these are source code only packages.

at [https://github.com/opensim/opensim/releases our github releases] you may find recent test packages named

The OpenSim project does not currently provide installers for the latest releases - you're better off downloading the binary packages and just unzipping them - this is equivalent to an installation.  However, if you do want an executable installer, here are some links to some older install packages.

== Release candidate ==
 +
Binary packages of the current candidate for the next OpenSimulator release are provided in .zip or .tar.gz form.  This candidate is made available for testing - if you require more tested code then please download the current release instead.  The two packages are theoretically identical, though the .tar.gz was built on mono while the .zip was built under .NET.

+
= Source code =
+
 
+
Here are the current released versions of OpenSim.
+
 
+
Please see [[Branches]] for more information on the repository branches and what they are for.
+
 
+
The latest source releases are always hosted at http://dist.opensimulator.org.
+
 
+
*http://dist.opensimulator.org/opensim-0.6.8-release.tar.gz or
+
*http://dist.opensimulator.org/opensim-0.6.8-release.zip
+
 
+
Both these packages are the same except for the compression format.
+
 
+
<br>
+
 
+
== Release Code via Git  ==
+
 
+
Instead of using a source archive release, you can pull specific releases from our git source code repository. For more information on installing and using Git, please see [[Using Git]].
+
 
+
In each case you'll want to start with a clone:
+
 
+
git clone git://opensimulator.org/git/opensim
+
 
+
Then all other commands are run from inside the checked out directory.  For example
+
 
+
*'''Command for retrieving 0.6.8'''
+
 
+
git checkout 0.6.8-release
+
 
+
*'''Command for retrieving 0.6.8 with ongoing fixes'''
+
 
+
git checkout -b 0.6.8-post-fixes origin/0.6.8-post-fixes
+
 
+
*'''Command for updating an existing checked out 0.6.8 branch with subsequent changes'''
+
 
+
git pull
+
 
+
== Release Code via ViewGit Web Utility ==
+
 
+
You can also get OpenSimulator code via the ViewGit web utility at
+
 
+
http://opensimulator.org/viewgit/?a=summary&p=opensim
+
 
+
or for the 0.6.8-post-fixes branch.
+
 
+
http://opensimulator.org/viewgit/?a=shortlog&p=opensim&h=refs/heads/0.6.8-post-fixes
+
 
+
You'll see a list of revisions as shown below. 
+
 
+
[[Image:Git Summary.png|center|640x112px]]
+
 
+
The tarball or zip source code package for any particular revision can be downloaded by the ''tar/gz'' and ''zip'' links in the rightmost "Actions" column.
+
 
+
== Release notes  ==
+
 
+
These are extracted from the subversion history log and correlated with the tagged releases. It should provide some idea of the changes between each tagged version. How ever, since the tagged releases are moved out of the trunk, the versions aren't an exact correlation. Please read and understand [[Release Cycle]] and [[On revisions, tags and branches]] before using this information.

All older versions of OpenSim are available from the Git repo (this includes fully converted versions of every change that existed in the subversion repository, including all old tags and branches). Please be aware that even if there is zero official support for the latest version, there's even less support for older ones. They are kept here for historical and technological reference only.

== Current release ==

The two packages are identical apart from their compression formats.
  
The 'official' release tags and branches are all available from:

git://opensimulator.org/git/opensim

If you are truly feeling dangerous, adventurous, or want to help us test the next version of OpenSim you are welcome to grab the latest unstable code out of our git master repository.  Any warnings previous expressed about the alpha nature of the code go double or triple if you are running directly off of master.  '''Never, ever, ever, never''' run this in production environments, it is not suitable for that unless you are very familiar with the source code, and can hot fix any piece of it (that probably means you are an OpenSim core member).  Feedback and testing on the unstable tree is appreciated, as that helps us make the next release better.  If this scares you from using trunk, that was intended.

If it breaks, you get to keep both pieces.

* '''Latest git revision version (bleeding edge)'''
+
git clone git://opensimulator.org/git/opensim
+
 
+
* '''To checkout a specific revision'''
+
After creating the clone, chnage into the directory and:
+
git reset --hard ########
+
 
+
Where ######## is the unique hash of the version you are interested in.
+
 
+
Another option for obtaining the code is via subversion with our svn mirror.  This mirrors all git changes since the old 10k1 changeset in subversion.  It is synchronized every 15 minutes, so may be 15 minutes behind git master.
+
 
+
* '''Latest subversion revision version (bleeding edge)'''
+
svn co http://opensimulator.org/svn/opensim-track/trunk opensim
