qmake ..
make
```
### Run the server
```bash
./build/client-server-qt
```
## đĻ Installation
### Linux Ubuntu

2. Chose package: `client-server-linux-installer.run` or `server-app-linux-portable.zip`
> [!NOTE]
>
> `server-app-linux-portable.zip` and `client-server-linux-installer.run` also work in ubuntu disto
3. Run the installer using command:
```bash
cd ~/YOUR_DOWNLOADS_FOLDER

## 𧊠Project Structure
* `main.cpp`: Entry point for the application. Initializes the `QApplication` and the `Server`.
* `server.h`: Header file for the `Server` class, which handles incoming connections and data transmission.
* `server.cpp`: Implementation of the `Server` class.
## đ Server Class Overview
| Server Constructor | Starts the server and listens on the specified port and initializes the `nextBlockSize` to 0. |
| -------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
| sendToClient(QString str) | Prepares a data packet with the current time and the provided string. Sends the packet to all connected clients. |
| incomingConnection(qintptr socketDescriptor) | Handles new incoming connections. Sets up signal-slot connections for data reading and socket destruction. |
| slotReadyRead() | Reads incoming data from clients. Echoes the received message back to all clients. |
