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.
After cloning the repository, make sure you have Java 11 or newer installed and run the following command:
./gradlew buildThis 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.
In order to use the OPENRNDR build from your applications one has to install OPENRNDR's Maven artifacts in the local Maven repository.
