OpenSim AND Second Life

For standalone mode, need machine running Windows or Linux. (Sorry Mac users! Though if you have bootcamp, still should be able to do in Windows mode.)

STEP 1: Download Diva Distro Download the Diva Distro from GitHub

Select the “Preconfigured Hypergridded Standalone” version

Unzip the packaged file on your computer

If on Linux, must install Mono 2.4.2 or higher

Linux Users Only – Install Mono Instructions depend on your flavor of Linux

Need Mono 2.4.2 or higher, older versions won’t work

Mono project includes many components, if you don’t plan to do dev work, only need the mono framework itself
