- Download a patch and apply it to the OpenSim source.
- You can download a pre-compiled version of OpenSim with the OGP patch.
The gridnauts IRC channel (irc://irc.freenode.net/#gridnauts) is a place to go with questions while better documentation is being written in the wiki.

Common Issues
- Despite the name of "external_host_address" and the instructions in the OpenSim docs, you _must_ use the external IP Number of your sim in the external_host_name slot of your default.xml. Either answer the External Host Name question with the IP number during the initial startup of your sim, or edit the Regions/default.xml file appropriately.
- If you have trouble with authentication make sure 'accounts_authenticate = false' in your OpenSim.ini
- Firewalls: If your OGP OpenSim is running in standalone mode, then you only need to open the port listed in your region descriptor - bin/Regions/default.xml, <... interernal_ip_port=9000 ...> attribute, 9000 unless you fiddle it. HOWEVER, you must open it for _both_ TPC and UDP in both directions.
- If you are behind a firewall and open your 9000 port for TCP and UDP and still can't teleport to your OGP OpenSim, check the listener channel and open that port as well. You may see the teleport attempt hitting the server in the log but may not be able to connect until the listener port is opened also.
