Getting Started with the OpenSim Source

This page is a centralized reference of starting points for an OpenSim developer working directly with the OpenSim source code.

We grant read access to anyone who requests it. If you only wish to have read access to the source code, you can skip steps 3 & 4 under "Registration".
Write access to the OpenSim source code is granted to staff plus postdocs, graduate students, or other researchers who have demonstrated expert knowledge in using the OpenSource code and a commitment to upholding its accuracy and robustness. See Contributing to the OpenSim Source Code for more information.
