        ## Installation
        
        Clone the project from GitHub, then you'll need [Git](https://git-scm.com/) 
        installed on your computer:
        
        ```
        # Clone this repository
        $ git clone https://github.com/marik348/python-messegner
        ```
        
        ---
        
        ## Usage
        
        The next steps explain how to use the messenger in your local network.
        
        To run this application, you'll need [Python 3.6+](https://www.python.org/) 
        installed on your computer.
        In your [working environment][venv-url] from the command line:
        
        ```
        # Go into the repository
        $ cd python-messenger
        
        # Install dependencies
        $ pip3 install -r requirements.txt
        ```
        
        Once you've installed all the dependencies, run the server on your local 
        network in the first command prompt with arguments [username] [password] 
        to create an administrator account:
        
        ```
        # Navigate to server-side
        $ cd ./messenger/server
        
        # Run server and create [username] with administrator role 
        $ python server.py [username] [password]
        ```
        
        From that moment, your computer will work as a server (receive requests)
        in the local network.
        You can stop the server with Ctrl+C combination pressed twice in the terminal.
        Next time it's not necessary to run the server with arguments to create an 
        admin account unless you've deleted the ```database.sqlite3``` file.
        
        After running the server, everyone from your network can run a messenger.
        Go to the root directory of the project and 
        run the messenger client in the second command line prompt:
        
        ```
        # Navigate to client-side
        $ cd ./messenger/client
        
        # Run client
        $ python messenger.py
        ```
        
        To connect to the server, everyone from your local network should
        change the IP address in Preferences to [the local IP address](https://www.whatismybrowser.com/detect/what-is-my-local-ip-address) 
        with 9000 port (the local IP of the computer which runs the server).
        
        Register an account or log in to the administrator account.
        Finally, you can use the messenger to communicate in the local network. 
        
        P.S. Originally project was developed on Debian family distribution, 
        that's why it causes some UI problems on Windows.

        ## Download
        
        There are two executable desktop versions with the ability to chat in the:
        
        1. local network
        2. global network
        
        Get them for Windows and Linux from [here](https://github.com/marik348/python-messegner/releases/tag/v1.2.0).
        
        The main difference between versions is that the second one
        has the deployed server IP address by default
        without the ability to change the IP address in Preferences.
