WiVRn is based on [Monado](/docs/fossvr/monado/) and can be used with [OpenComposite](/docs/fossvr/opencomposite/) to support a majority of titles available for SteamVR. A wide range of standalone headsets are supported.
## Installing WiVRn
We recommend using [Envision](/docs/fossvr/envision/) to install and launch WiVRn & OpenComposite. Envision will handle all configuration seamlessly and avoids many of the pitfalls of a manual setup.
Alternatively, you can use the [WiVRn Flatpak](https://flathub.org/apps/io.github.wivrn.wivrn) which includes OpenComposite as part of it.
Alternatively, you can use the [WiVRn Flatpak](https://flathub.org/apps/io.github.wivrn.wivrn) which includes OpenComposite as part of it. Processes in flatpak cannot take advantage of setcap, and so your performance may suffer when compared to Envision.
## General WiVRn Notes
To use WiVRn you need to have Avahi installed and running. You can ensure it is running with the following terminal command:
WiVRn uses Avahi for network discovery. Ensure it is running with the following terminal command:
```bash
systemctl enable --now avahi-daemon
```
If you have a firewall installed, you will need to ensure ports 5353/UDP and 9757/UDP+TCP are open for Avahi and WiVRn itself, respectively.
(If Avahi is not available, the IP address of the server must be entered into the client.)
If you are using Nvidia proprietary drivers, you will need to have [Monado Vulkan Layers](https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/monado/utilities/vulkan-layers) installed to play any steam games with WiVRn.
If a firewall is installed, make sure ports 5353/UDP and 9757/UDP+TCP are open for Avahi and WiVRn itself, respectively.
If using Nvidia proprietary drivers, have [Monado Vulkan Layers](https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/monado/utilities/vulkan-layers) installed, otherwise games will crash with a segmentation fault.
For audio in WiVRn, you will need to assign applications, or the system as a whole, to output audio to the virtual output "WiVRn" which is created upon connection between the server and the headset.
