## Building
Clone the git repo then do `cargo build --release`.
## Installing
After building, do `cargo install --path .`. This will install the release binary and put the `bs-trace` binary on your PATH to be run from the command line.
## Running
After installing, run `bs-trace` from the command line. Alternatively, from the cloned repo root do `cargo run`.
The program will compute a ray-traced image of two spheres and write the output in PPM format to the current working directory as "out.ppm".
