| **Important** As of OC 1.3 you will also need to craft an OpenOS floppy as the operating system is not installed by default, for the first two tiers you will need to craft a [[block:disk_drive|Disk Drive]]. You may also want a [[item:hdd|HardDrive]] to install OpenOS on, to allow writing to any directory (including root) and edit files in OpenOS. | **Important** As of OC 1.3 you will also need to craft an OpenOS floppy as the operating system is not installed by default, for the first two tiers you will need to craft a [[block:disk_drive|Disk Drive]].

| The most direct (but in the long run suboptimal) way of playing around with it is via the Lua interpreter. Type `lua` and hit enter to open it. When you're done, press `Ctrl`+`C` to quit it (or `Ctrl`+`D` if the prompt is empty). Another useful key combination is `Ctrl`+`Alt`+`C`, which lets you break out of sleeps. For example, if you started something like `while true do os.sleep(1) end`, that's the key combination that'll break that loop. Alternatively just turn it off and on again. | The most direct (but in the long run suboptimal) way of playing around with it is via the Lua interpreter. Type `lua` and hit enter to open it.
