Luxconsole

From LuxRender Wiki

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 [options] file

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.
