I have managed well such that It can be used within a **localhost**.\n\nThis contains two files which are **server-side.py** and **client-side.py**.\n\n# Installation \n\nThe installation will be of two sides server and client respectively!!. I assumed that the user **root@mastermind:#** is the server and **root@blackhat:#** is the client. Even if it is viceversa it will anyway works.\n\n- Remember that we will be using **socket** module and other system-built modules. Hence if you don't have in your machine it is necessary to install it. It does not depend you are client or server all of you must have the file.\n```bash\nroot@masterplan:# pip install socket\n```\n\nFirstly on the **server-side**\n```bash\nroot@masterplan:# git clone https://github.com/MrNkolima/chatting-system\nroot@masterplan:# cd chatting-system\nroot@masterplan:# python3 server-side.py\nEnter your server Address:: 172.80.25.80      # \u003c---- Here write your ip address\n```\n- If you want to test in a local machine then you can also hit **enter** without typing the **ip-address**\n\nSecondly on the **client-side.py**\n```bash\nroot@masterplan:# git clone https://github.com/MrNkolima/chatting-system\nroot@masterplan:# cd chatting-system\nroot@masterplan:# python3 server-side.py\nWrite a Server address:: 172.80.25.80      # \u003c---- Here write server address\n```\n- If you are testing this in the local machine then no need to **git cloning** the secong time. Just open a new session and run the **client-side.py**\n- Also if you are testing on local machine then you can hit enter on **Write a Server address::** without filling.\n- Also it works if you type **localhost** on the address in both cases if you are testing on the local machine.\n\n\n\n## Behind the scenes\n  - The port in which the communication will be happening is **5050**.\n  - Type **file** in the chatting session to have an option of sending the file.\n  - Type **STOPPED** in the chatting session to stop communication.\n  - On the server side type **quit** to turn off the server.\n\n\n# PRO \u0026 CONS\n- [x] The chatting is safe since I configured the server to listen only **one** user.\n- [x] The files can be transfered.\n- [ ] The files transported are limited to 5MB but you can change by changing the buffersize variable.\n- [ ] The files which are allowed to be transfered are text-based images and not other files like images, audio, pdf, zip and videos. But all the remained type of files are supported!!.\n- [ ] The chatting relie on sending each other files or texts and you cannot send message consecutive without an incoming message, hence it look like send to receive and vice versa is true.\n\n## Contributing\n\nPull requests are welcome. For major changes, please open an issue first\nto discuss what you would like to change.\n\n\nPlease make sure to update tests as appropriate.\n\n\n## Free to use\n\n- You can use this for free either by modifying it or use as it is.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fisaka-james%2Fchatting-system","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fisaka-james%2Fchatting-system","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fisaka-james%2Fchatting-system/lists"}
