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

When using OpenSim on Windows XP ensure it is updated to at least Service Pack 2 (SP2).

When using OpenSim on Windows XP, VISTA, Win-7, Server 2003 & 2008, You need to have the newest version of the .NET Framework 3.5 sp1 (3.51), available from Microsoft Download Centre: www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx [[|]]

32-Bit Operating System:  Start/Run OpenSim.exe

64-Bit Operating System:  Start/Run OpenSim.32BitLaunch.exe

Depending on your installation, you may have to run the program as administrator. (right click run as a administrator)

NOTE:  Windows Versions prior to XP such as NT, 2000 are not supported.  NET Framework 4.0 not officially supported by OpenSim yet.

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) / 8.10 (Intrepid) / 9.04 (Jaunty)

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

Note for Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy) users: 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)
