64-bit Windows.
AWAKE currently requires a 64-bit Windows PC with an x64 processor. There is no official macOS or Linux client at this time.
Requirements
Everything you need
before first connection.
This is the single reference for AWAKE platform support, Second Life account preparation, language support and the tested PC baseline.
A prepared Alt.
The companion must use one of your own alternate Second Life accounts. Before automated use, that account must be marked as a Scripted Agent.
Set Scripted Agent status ↗English is officially supported.
You can try speaking with a companion in other languages, but behavior outside English is not guaranteed and may be inconsistent or incoherent. Additional language support is planned.
Hardware
AWAKE is light. Your Second Life viewer is usually the heavier workload.
The baseline below has successfully run AWAKE. The recommended column leaves more room for running AWAKE, a current Second Life viewer and normal background applications together.
