Installation

The following installation instructions are for a fresh Ubuntu 14.04 machine.

1. sudo apt-get update
2. sudo apt-get install git
3. Get Node.js 4.4.4:
   wget -qO- https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_4.x | sudo bash -
4. sudo apt-get install --yes nodejs
5. git clone https://www.github.com/lahuang4/crosstalk
6. cd crosstalk
7. Install the required Node packages:
   npm install
8. If you'd like to run the directory on your own machine, change the corresponding directory IP address in server/server.js and run the directory:
   nodejs directory/directory.js
9. Start the server (in another window, if you're running the directory as well):
   nodejs server/server.js
10. Start the client GUI in another window:
    npm start
11. Now you can open up the GUI at http://localhost:3000, and start chatting!
