Stendhal is written in Java and will run on any system support Java, including Microsoft Windows and Linux. If you already have Java, playing Stendhal is as simple as clicking on the [http://arianne.sourceforge.net/jws/stendhal.jnlp Stendhal Webstart] link. |

OpenGTS is written entirely in Java, and will run on any system that can run Java and MySQL. This currently includes Linux, Mac OS X, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and Windows. |
|||
The Stendhal Server needs a MySQL database which is provided by many Linux distribution and part of many Server Hosting arrangements. It can be easily installed on Microsoft Windows, too. |
|||
Once installed, you will need a GPS tracking device that is capable of transmitting a GPS location over Internet to the server. There are several low-cost or easily available options for tracking that are included with OpenGTS. |
|||
We suggest using Eclipse for contributing because Eclipse is the IDE most of us are having experience with. There are instructions for other IDEs like Netbeans on our Wiki. |
|||
One of these is the support of the OpenDMTP client on a laptop. My first test with a GPS tracking device was driving down the road with the passenger monitoring a laptop that had a USB GPS receiver connected to it and a wireless Internet modem. |
