This is a native approach to using Slime trackers within the open-source stack without relying on SteamVR, offering results comparable to those provided by the native SteamVR driver.
To use this method, you need to compile SlimeVR yourself from this fork:
`https://github.com/rcelyte/SlimeVR-Server.git`, branch `solarxr-ipc`. Build instructions can be found [here](https://github.com/rcelyte/SlimeVR-Server/blob/solarxr-ipc/CONTRIBUTING.md).
For Monado, you need compile this fork:
`https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/rcelyte/monado.git`, branch `solarxr-integration`. You can easily build Monado from this specific branch via [Envision](../fossvr/envision/), by modifying "XR Service Repo" and "XR Service Branch" in your build profile accordingly.
**Important**: Make sure to launch SlimeVR first before launching Monado/Envision.
**Important note #1**: Do not stop the SlimeVR server during operation, as driver and tracker hot-plugging are not yet supported.
**Important note #2**: SlimeVR will not detect your HMD until you launch a game that supports trackers. For now, body calibration options will be available in-game.
After launching the game, you should see your trackers being detected. At this point, you can calibrate and use them.
