Guide to Second Life Viewer Software

also known as Beginner's Guide, Manual, User Guide, User's Guide, User Manual, or User's Manual.

Interacting with the Second Life virtual world requires you download, install, and run a "Viewer" program on your computer. The Viewer allows you to log in to the Second life grid, see and interact with objects and avatars around your current "location" in the virtual world.

This Guide is intended to document how the current version of the Official Viewer software works.

In addition to the Viewer, some features are accessed via the Second Life website (like this wiki page, for example).
