OpenSimulator now requires '''.NET Framework 3.5''' when running under Windows.  If you run OpenSimulator on '''Windows 7''' or '''Windows Server 2008 R2''', it is already bundled so you can run OpenSimulator 0.7.1 out-of-the-box. On '''Windows Vista''', '''Windows Server 2008''', '''Windows Server 2003''' or '''Windows XP''', you'll need to upgrade it to 3.5(or later, but NET Framework 4.0 not officially supported by OpenSimulator yet), downloading from [http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/netframework/cc378097 Microsoft .NET Framework Download Page@.NET Framework Developer Center]. Note that prior versions of Windows(ex. NT or 2000) are NOT supported.

OpenSimulator requires Mono 2.4.3 or later. '''WARNING:''' OpenSimulator is known to have significant performance and scalability problems with Mono versions 2.8.x, 2.10.0 and 2.10.1. As of Mono 2.10.2, the scalability problems appear to have been resolved. Mono 2.6.x also appears to be fine, though the mono VM does seem to have some issues (crashing with a native stacktrace) on simulators running many regions or lots of users/prims.  Therefore you should either use Mono 2.6.x or Mono 2.10.2 or later. You can also use Mono 2.4.3, but it is fairly old now.

There are also reports that anything between Mono 2.10.9 and 3.0.3 has major issues; 3.0.7 is supposedly OK.

To run OpenSimulator with mono, execute

mono --debug OpenSim.exe
+
OpenSimulator development code requires Mono 5.12 or later.
  
−
This is the same for 32 bit and 64 bit systems. The --debug switch isn't strictly necessary, but it will insert line numbers for stack traces if you ever need to make a bug report, and the overhead of using it is very small.

To run OpenSimulator with mono, execute on folder ../bin
  
−
== Ubuntu ==
+
./opensim.sh
  
−
sudo apt-get install mono-complete
+
You can edit that shell script if you need, to change Regional Setting (see bellow) or other parameters like stack size for ODE based physics engines.

On Mac Os with mono5.x you can run OpenSimulator in 32bit mode changing the mono execution line on that script to:
−
== RHEL, Fedora, CentOS or Any Other RedHat-based Distributions ==
+
  
−
First, run "yum info mono-core" to see the version of the mono packages in the core repository for your distribution. If it shows '''2.4.3''' or later, proceed to [[#Installing from Core Repository]]. If not, skip to [[#Installing from Mono Repository]]. Note that the current version you can get from yum repository for some distributions is lower than requirement (ex. '''1.2.4''' on CentOS). Unlike Ubuntu, RedHat-based distributions should be always conservative, therefore it is natural that they don't so often update their repository. What you can do to manage this problem is to add an extra repository for mono.
+
mono --desktop --arch=32 OpenSim.exe
  
−
=== Installing from Core Repository ===
 
  
−
Just type:
 
−
<pre>
 
−
sudo yum install  mono-core mono-data-sqlite mono-extras libgdiplus
 
−
</pre>
 
−
It will also install dependent modules. After that you can launch OpenSim.exe with mono out-of-the-box.

=== Getting Mono ===
  
−
This procedure is tested on CentOS 5.5 & 5.6 box with OpenSimulator 0.7.1.
+
You can install mono from [https://www.mono-project.com/download/stable/ Mono Official Download Page].
 +
If you system is not supported, you will need to get its sources and compile on it.
  
−
Go to yum config file folder and create new one for mono.

== Docker ==
−

And then in mono.repo :

For testing purposes, you can even run OpenSimulator as Docker containers. The quickest way would be to use [https://hub.docker.com/_/mono/ official docker mono image] as base image. To avoid first-run questionaries, you need to prepare a series of ini files and deploy them on the container. For example, if you run 0.9.0.0-rc1 binary in Standalone mode on Mono 4.6.2.16:
−
<pre>
+
−
[mono]
+
−
name = novell-mono
+
−
baseurl=http://ftp.novell.com/pub/mono/download-stable/RHEL_5/
+
−
enabled=1
+
−
gpgcheck=0
+
−
</pre>
+
  
−
Now, you can yum install the later version of mono from this repository. Additional note that make sure all of mono packages are i386(not IA64 build). If your box is 32bit, don't care and you can even install properly without ".i386" suffix.
 
 
<pre>
 
<pre>
−
sudo yum install mono-addon-core.i386 mono-addon-data.i386 mono-addon-data-sqlite.i386  \
+
FROM mono:4.6.2.16
−
      mono-addon-extras.i386 mono-addon-web.i386 mono-addon-winforms.i386 mono-addon-libgdiplus0.i386
+
−
</pre>
+
  
−
Yum will install mono into /opt/novell/mono, so you can create a symbolic link to /usr/bin :
+
RUN curl http://dist.opensimulator.org/opensim-0.9.0.0-rc1.tar.gz -s | tar xzf -
−
<pre>
+
COPY Regions.ini /opensim-0.9.0.0-rc1/bin/Regions/Regions.ini

COPY OpenSim.ini /opensim-0.9.0.0-rc1/bin/OpenSim.ini
−
</pre>
+
EXPOSE 9000
 +
WORKDIR /opensim-0.9.0.0-rc1/bin
  
−
After that, you should be able to launch OpenSim.exe without any errors.

</pre>
 
</pre>
  
−
You can even use apt-get instead of aptitude. They both will also install dependent packages.
+
In most cases, you should care about "ExternalHostName" in Regions.ini. The value should be valid hostname which can be accessed from outside of docker machine. In general, it would be "localhost" or the hostname of the docker machine which the container resides in.

[edit] Note

These instructions assume that OpenSimulator is running from the binary packages in standalone mode. If this is not the case or you have more complex requirements (e.g. you want to use the MySQL database rather than SQLite or you want to run in grid mode), then you will need to configure OpenSimulator first.

[edit] Dependencies

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

After solving dependencies, you may need to configure the firewall installed in your system by default so that the viewers outside can access to OpenSimulator inside it. See Firewall Settings for more informations.

OpenSimulator development code requires Mono 5.12 or later.

To run OpenSimulator with mono, execute on folder ../bin 

./opensim.sh

You can edit that shell script if you need, to change Regional Setting (see bellow) or other parameters like stack size for ODE based physics engines.

On Mac Os with mono5.x you can run OpenSimulator in 32bit mode changing the mono execution line on that script to:

mono --desktop --arch=32 OpenSim.exe


[edit] Getting Mono

You can install mono from Mono Official Download Page. If you system is not supported, you will need to get its sources and compile on it.

[edit] Docker

For testing purposes, you can even run OpenSimulator as Docker containers. The quickest way would be to use official docker mono image as base image. To avoid first-run questionaries, you need to prepare a series of ini files and deploy them on the container. For example, if you run 0.9.0.0-rc1 binary in Standalone mode on Mono 4.6.2.16: 

FROM mono:4.6.2.16

RUN curl http://dist.opensimulator.org/opensim-0.9.0.0-rc1.tar.gz -s | tar xzf -
COPY Regions.ini /opensim-0.9.0.0-rc1/bin/Regions/Regions.ini
COPY OpenSim.ini /opensim-0.9.0.0-rc1/bin/OpenSim.ini
EXPOSE 9000
WORKDIR /opensim-0.9.0.0-rc1/bin

CMD [ "mono",  "./OpenSim.exe" ]

In most cases, you should care about "ExternalHostName" in Regions.ini. The value should be valid hostname which can be accessed from outside of docker machine. In general, it would be "localhost" or the hostname of the docker machine which the container resides in.

Then build it and run like that. Note that you will need to forward both TCP and UDP port. 

$ docker build -t opensim .
$ docker run --name=opensim -p 9000:9000 -p 9000:9000/udp -d opensim
or
$ docker run --name=opensim -it -p 9000:9000 -p 9000:9000/udp opensim

You can find full sample Dockerfile project at makopo/docker-opensimulator-sample.

[edit] Locales and Regional Settings

OpenSimulator will only work properly when you run it with an English locale or regional setting. With other settings than English, you are likely to see a variety of issues, ranging from misbehaving scripts to crashes.

[edit] Linux

In Linux, you can easily use the standard "C" locale just for running OpenSim.exe, as explained in Troubleshooting#ScriptEngine Issues: 

env LANG=C mono OpenSim.exe

For information about changing your locale in a more general way, see Troubleshooting#Locales Issues

[edit] Windows

If you are not using an English regional setting in Windows by default, then there is not a solution as easy as for Linux, unfortunately. I did it with an additional user account that I created just for OpenSimulator in which I set the regional setting to "English (US)". I run OpenSim.exe from my normal user account with "Run as..." (or check "Run with different credentials" in a shortcut's advanced properties) and specify the OpenSimulator account as the one to be used.
