Luxconsole is a compact program that contains basic rendering and networking functionality, but does not have a graphical interface. One of its functions is to render material previews for plugins, but it can also be used to set up render servers.
usage
Luxconsole can be started by typing "luxconsole" or "./luxconsole" in a terminal window. It may be necessary to navigate to the folder where the program is located first.
For setting up render servers, please refer to the Network rendering page.
