## Overview

SheepIt Render Farm Client is an *Open Source* client for the distributed render farm [**SheepIt**](https://www.sheepit-renderfarm.com).

## Compilation

You need Java 1.7. OpenJDK and Oracle are both supported.
You also need [ant](http://ant.apache.org/).
To create the jar file, simply type `ant` in the project's root directory.

## Usage

Once you have a jar file, you can view the usage by running:
