Run the clients

Before getting into the code of the two clients, lets spin up each of them and see how they work.

Before running the clients

Make sure you change into the server/v1/ folder then

• run docker compose up -d to launch the service
• run the ../reset.py script to populate the service
  • Windows: python ..\reset.py

otherwise the clients will not work as described below. (see Launch and populate)

The Alice client

Let's start with the alice client.

In the clients/alice/ folder run meeting_buddy.py You will see the following:
