Using OPENRNDR

You are advised to use the OPENRNDR template which provides a quick start to using the library.

OPENRNDR's Javascript/WebGL is still experimental and under development. However, if you feel like trying it you should use the OPENRNDR JS template.

Building OPENRNDR

After cloning the repository, make sure you have Java 11 or newer installed and run the following command:

./gradlew build

This should start the build process, which will take some time to complete.

Note that OPENRNDR does not depend on anything that is not on Maven Central, builds should be easy and predictable.

Installing OPENRNDR as Maven artifacts

In order to use the OPENRNDR build from your applications one has to install OPENRNDR's Maven artifacts in the local Maven repository.

./gradlew publishToMavenLocal snapshot

A more detailed walk-through of building, publishing to Maven local and contributing can be found in the wiki.
