I'm just going to leave it on 24/7 for it to gain points by rendering other peoples frames, then when I want to render something I can redeem those points and other people will render for me.

I assume your Pie is on some sort of Linux.

 

Make sure you have openjdk installed, if not it should be in your distro's repository as its a fairly common package.

Download the Jar file from the Tux Penguin Icon https://www.sheepit-renderfarm.com/getstarted.php

Depending on your environment, You should be able to click on the jar file to start it.

 

If clicking on the jar file does nothing or opens a file compression application

• Open a Terminal
• cd /path/to/dir/of/file
• java -jar ./name_of_file_jar

I just gave you a tutorial...

As far as openjdk that entirely depends on your Distro, which at this point is unknown. If its ubuntu, a quick search tells me sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jre from the terminal. I can not verify this as I run Arch.

For Java 8 -> sudo apt install openjdk-8-jdk

For Java 11 -> sudo apt install default-jdk

firstly, damn that was a fast response. and secondly how can I tell that?

Java 8 is more widely used and has the best compatibility. I however just tested with Java 14 and it seemed to work fine. You only need to install one of those.
