Mac OS X

Start the UGAS services - UGAS means User, Grid, Asset & Sim, in that order.

Windows

OpenSim.Grid.GridServer.exe
OpenSim.Grid.AssetServer.exe
OpenSim.exe

Connect using the Second Life client:

SecondLife.exe -loginuri http://ipAddr:8002

Linux

cd bin
mono OpenSim.Grid.UserServer.exe
mono OpenSim.Grid.GridServer.exe
mono OpenSim.Grid.AssetServer.exe
mono OpenSim.exe

Connect using the Second Life client:

./secondlife -loginuri http://ipAddr:8002

Public Grid (www.deepgrid.com, www.osgrid.org, or others)

Windows

cd bin
OpenSim.exe -gridmode

SecondLife.exe -loginuri http://user.deepgrid.com:8002  (for deepgrid)
SecondLife.exe -loginuri http://osgrid.org:8002         (for osgrid)

Linux

cd bin
mono OpenSim.exe -gridmode

./secondlife -loginuri http://user.deepgrid.com:8002  (for deepgrid)
./secondlife -loginuri http://osgrid.org:8002         (for osgrid)

In all cases, start up the client with a -loginuri argument to connect to the sim.
