Server setup

1) Node.js

The server requires Node.js to work. So if you don't already have Node.js installed on your computer you have to install it first. Download this from here: Link for downloading Node.js

2) Package installation

When Node.js is installed move to the server folder and run the next command on your terminal/command line: npm install

npm install command will install all the dependencies which are needed for the server to run.

3) Running the server

node server command will run the server after all above steps have been done. You have to be in the server folder to do this.

Running the client

The client requires no installation. You just open the client/index.html file on your browser and the client will run. Modern browsers ( Chrome / Opera / Firefox ) are required for proper functionality of the clients.
