Setup

Downloading NIDAS

• Download and run the setup.lua file through the OC shell:

  wget -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/S4mpsa/NIDAS/master/setup.lua && setup

Hardware requirements

AR glasses requires tier 3 components, so support is only provided for tier 3 components.
You can try running it with lower tiered hardware, but there's no guarantees *anything* will work.
Both the local servers and the main server can run on in a T3 computer case, but server racks are suggested for extra component capacity.

• Internet card
  • Important for the installation and update of NIDAS.
• Tier 2 wireless network card
  • Is used for communication between different servers on the system.
• Memory sticks
  • At least one Tier 3.5 or equivalent.
  • We haven't calculated how much we need, but if you can build an OC, you can probably craft plenty of those.
• Component busses
  • Main server does not necessarily need any.
  • Local servers will most likely want these to connect more than a few machines.
  • Each T3 Component bus gives the server 16 more components, with a maximum of around 50 free slots after the required hardware.
  • Aim for the highest tier available.
• HardDisk
  • NIDAS itself uses a bit over 300Kb, so it will fit on a T2 disk. We suggest using a T3 disk, however.
• Tier 3 graphics card and screen
  • The configuration menu is very cramped and looks washed out with a T2 screen and GPU.

OpenComputers setup

• Place the computer that's going to play the role of main server first.
• Run it.
• Place local servers.

Updates

The NIDAS version at the bottom-right corner will show if a new update is available. Clicking it will automatically download and install it.
