Installing from source

MS Windows

OpenSim requires either the .Net framework version 2.0, or the latest Mono.

1. Get the source code from the svn repository:

svn://openmetaverse.org/opensim/trunk

2. In the top-level directory, run the 'runprebuild.bat' file. This will create both a VS2005 solution file, and a nant build file.

3. Open the resulting sln file with visual studio, and build it there, or if you prefer to use nant, run nant in the same top-level directory. This will build the executables.
