Sunflow is a rendering system written entirely in Java.
Sunflow offers only a startscript which has to be customized by the user (who has to unpack and setup the system himself, too). Due to these circumstances, I decided to create installers for various plattforms:
Starting with
Debian lenny and
Ubuntu 8.04 ("hardy"), you can install Sunflow by your preferred installation mechanism (Adept, Synaptic, apt-get, aptitute).

Installing Sunflow on Windows
To install Sunflow on
Microsoft Windows, download the installer, double-click on the downloaded file and follow the installation dialog. To start Sunflow (assuming you did not change the proposed features), select Sunflow in Start menu -> (All) Programs. If this fails or Sunflow displays a warning that you are not running the server VM, you probably need to install the
Sun JDK. The installer ships with an improved start script (
Download with right-click -> save as or similar).
