The following command will install RenderFlow silently, without any user intervention:

"./renderflow-win.X.X.X.exe" --silent

On Windows, RenderFlow will be installed at the %PROGRAMFILES%/Pulze/RenderFlow directory.

To start RenderFlow, run rfsv.exe located in the root of the installation directory: %PROGRAMFILES%/Pulze/RenderFlow/rfsv.exe

You can provide the following command line arguments:

--type: Defines how RenderFlow should be started. Options are server, node, workstation.

--ip: The IP address of the computer that is running RenderFlow in server mode.

First you should configure the server. This command will start RenderFlow in server mode. Please note that you still need to define an ip address in this case it should be the computers own ip.

"./rfsv.exe" --type=server --ip=<server ip>

Once the server is running you can start and configure RenderFlow on your nodes and workstations:

"./rfsv.exe" --type=node --ip=<server ip>

"./rfsv.exe" --type=workstation --ip=<server ip>

You can also use the environment variable: RENDERFLOW_TYPE and RENDERFLOW_IP to configure RenderFlow. This is especially handy when you would like to run RenderFlow as a service.

<aside> 💡

After a successful start, RenderFlow will automatically save the type and the server IP settings. The next time it starts, it will use these saved settings unless you explicitly overwrite them.

After installation, you can manually start the user interface by running %PROGRAMFILES%/Pulze/RenderFlow/RenderFlow.exe or by typing "RenderFlow" in the Start menu. The interface launches automatically upon user sign-in.
