Puppetry Setup

Warning: The Puppetry system is still in a pre-release state, and as such the instructions will change. Be careful that the guide you follow is up-to-date with the current Puppetry viewer.]

As it stands right now, the puppetry viewer isn't that easy to set up for the average user. This page will hopefully help people find resources to allow them to get the puppetry system running on their computer.

This article valid as of 1/9/2022 (dmy).

Puppetry-enabled locations

Once you're set up, you'll want somewhere to test!

Currently, only a few regions on the Beta grid (Aditi) have puppetry enabled:

• Castelet (Meeting Space) - User Group region
• Bunraku (Sandbox)
• Marionette (Sandbox)
