1. Clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/atharvdange618/Chatting-Application.git
2. Navigate to the project directory: cd java-chatting-app
3. Compile the Java source files: javac *.java
4. Start the server: java Server
5. Start two client instances: java Client

Once the server and clients are running, two users can exchange messages in real-time. Each client has a graphical chat interface, where they can type and send messages. The server acts as a mediator, facilitating the communication between clients.
