We (XR Foundation) believe that the Metaverse, Web AR, VR, and XR should be easy.
We want a Star Trek future where participating in immersive communication technology and shared simulations should be as easy and natural as making a website.

To install XREngine locally, the following pre-reqs are required.
- Linux (many of us develop on Ubuntu), Mac OS X, or Windows (we recommend WSL2)
- Node.js v16 or later (we recommend installing via
nvmorasdf.) - C++ (for
node-gyp), Python >=3.6 + PIP,makeand other build tools, for compiling Mediasoup. Although most of XREngine is written in TypeScript, it uses a Mediasoup engine for WebRTC conferencing. See the Mediasoup install instructions for more details. - Docker. (Although Docker is technically optional, running XREngine requires starting up half a dozen different services, and using Docker Compose will make your life dramatically easier.)
- MariaDB and Redis. (If you're using Docker, containers for MariaDB and Redis will automatically be started up.)
See the Installation instructions for more details.
- General XREngine documentation
- Auto-generated (tsdoc) API reference
- Avatar, Scene & Asset Pipeline
- Why are we building XREngine?
- We expect contributors and community members to follow our Code of Conduct.
- See the Contributing Guide and corresponding wiki entry for more details.
- Version numbering of the XREngine monorepo follows the Semantic versioning approach.
- We use the Prettier.io formatter for our code style.
- Standard Readme for the README structure.
We believe that projects like this are extremely complex and difficult, and can only be built when large groups of people work together, out in the open. If you believe that your calling is to build a free, open network that everyone, everywhere can get value from, then you are welcome in our community, and we'll do our best to get you set up.
We are always hiring talented people who want to be leaders in what is to come. Inquire with anyone who seems like they know what's going on and they'll help you find who you need to talk to.
