The Aurora Engine is natively built in C# and can also use Mono for cross-platform support, although it is highly recommended that Microsoft .NET be used instead.

The Aurora Engine installation package comes with Mono, so there is no need to install Mono before you install the Aurora Engine.

The Mono implementation included with the Aurora Engine installation package has been tailored to the needs of the Aurora Engine and is based on version 6.4.0. To reduce size and improve portability, any libraries or assemblies not required have been removed. This modified version is self-contained, does not modify any system configurations, and causes no issues with existing Mono installations. For more information about Mono, visit the Mono Project website.
