Definition
This page contains installation tips for enCore MOO.
enCore is an educational MOO server/database and needs some Unix installation skills. It also may run under Windows (not tested).
Installation
Before you install
Read all the official documentation:
- enCore Consortium, The enCore Consortium seeks to coordinate and promote the open source development and distribution of the enCore Program.
- v5 Documentation (not meant for end users like non-technical teachers).

(tested in March 2007, maybe outdated at some point)
You need both a MOO server and the enCore database. The MOO server implements low level server architecture and the MOO programming language. The enCore database will contain all the necessary objects for running MOO world. Objects are programmed in the MOO language and include things like User classes, various kinds of Rooms (locations) and such. In other words, you can't run a MOO without a database.
- Download a MOO server
- We recommend
- Download a MOO database
Take it from here:
- enCore Learning Environment Take either version version 5 Beta. It works well enough for a production environment. However you also may take version 4.x (stable)
- Note the database at eNcore Open Source MOO Project is old. Do not use it !!
End user guides
- For the moment there seems to be none for v5 (Early 2007)
- enCore v.4 User's Guide (as of March 2007 a similar v5 guide does not seem to exist).
