First download all the files, after that you have two ways to run the project:

1. You can enter the /bin folder, run server.exe, open two login.exe files at the same time, log in to two accounts, in which you can conduct one-to-one chat, group chat, file transfer, picture transfer, emoticon package using, etc.
2. Follow the instructions to configure the corresponding environment, run server.py and login.py in the python runtime environment, the running process and functions are the same as the first case.

Supplement

IP Settings

The IP address of the server is initially set as the local loopback address(127.0.0.1) in the project. Therefore, for now this project only supports the communication between the two local processes if not changing the configuration. If you want to expand the service range, you can change the server IP address to the local IP address, with the terminals performing access and communication based on the given IP address.

Original Accounts

Six original accounts are set up in this project, given as follows:

Account	Password
518035910001	1
518035910002	2
518035910003	3
518035910004	4
518035910005	5
