How to run

Each of the following commands are to be run in theit own terminal instance.
i.e. open a new terminal and run the neccessary command.

1. First we compile the classeswith the output directory out so we have srs for source code and out for class files using the command

   # this compiles any file in any directory under 'srs' in its oun parent directory under 'out'.
   javac -d out $(find src -name "*.java")
   

2. Then we start the rmiregistry. since I am on linux, we do this as such:

   # cd in to 'out' directory
   cd out
   # and start rmi registry server in the background
   rmiregistry &
   

3. Start the server with the command

   # this command runs the Server class 'ComputEngine'
   java -cp out engine.ComputeEngine
   

4. And finally we start the client with the following command

   # command runs the client class Client
   java -cp out client.Client
