How to run RMI program locally

Step 1: in src folder, compile the code:

javac server/*.java client/*.java

Step 2: run servers (this will start 5 servers - replicas of key value store), to use default host (localhost) and port (1099):

./server.sh

To specify a custom host but use the default port (1099):

./server.sh custom_host

To specify both a custom host and a custom port:

./server.sh custom_host custom_port

Step 3: Open a new terminal

If you run clients without any arguments to connect to the default settings (localhost on port 1099):

./client.sh

If your RMI server running on a custom host but use the default port (1099), provide the hostname as the first argument:

./client.sh custom_host

To connect to an RMI server on a specific host and port, provide both as arguments:

./client.sh custom_host custom_port

NOTE: You can run multiple clients concurrently.

Step 4: Quit app

• For RMI servers, just press enter in server terminal

• For Client, input exit or quit in the client ternimal

If you have no permission to run shell file, please run:

chmod +x server.sh
chmod +x client.sh
