# Second Life (Open Metaverse viewer)
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/openmetaverse/ubuntu hardy main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/openmetaverse/ubuntu hardy main

Note: If you are not running hardy heron but instead are running a later version of ubuntu then you can change the “hardy” bit to e.g. “intrepid” or “jaunty” and it should work just fine.

Update lists:

sudo apt-get update

Install Second Life:

sudo apt-get install omvviewer

You should then find in the Applications menu, under games is the “Open Metaverse viewer” aka second life!
