Installing Dependencies

You must have gcc on your ubuntu or macOS to run the code. Other dependencies are libvlc and pthread libraries and vlc media player. To install them, run

make install

Compile and Running

To compile both client and server run command

make

To compile only client run command

make client

To compile only server run command

make server

Now to run server run command

./server <ip-address> <port-no-1> <port-no-2>

Now to run client run command

./client <ip-address> <port-no-1> <port-no-2>

i.e. ./server 127.0.0.1 8080 8081, ./client 127.0.0.1 8080 8081 make sure that port1 and port2 are same for both client and server.
<port-no-1> This port is for song transmission.
<port-no-2> This port is for transmitting list of songs available on the server side.
