P2P Application Guide

Setup

Before using the applications to demonstrate different P2P systems, we need to initially setup the programs on our machines.

1. Firstly, we need to download the ZIP file containing the three described applications. This can be found on the Introduction page.
2. We now need to extract the three folders to an appropriate directory on our machine. It is suggested that you do not extract these folders to your desktop as compilation will be problematic as this is a shared directory.
3. Execution of the programs can be performed in the same way for each. All we need to do is to navigate our way to the "src" folder inside the main directory and then double click on the batch (.bat) file within.
4. This will recompile the code and run the resulting Java Archive. You should verify that this method works for each of the programs and that complication and execution occurs correctly.
