# Tutorial Setup
## Setup for CORE
We assume the prior installation of CORE, using a virtual environment. You can
then adjust your PATH and add an alias to help more conveniently run CORE
commands.
This can be setup in your **.bashrc**
```shell
export PATH=$PATH:/opt/core/venv/bin
alias sudop='sudo env PATH=$PATH'
```
## Setup for Chat App
There is a simple TCP chat app provided as example software to use and run within
the tutorials provided.
### Installation
The following will install chatapp and its scripts into **/usr/local**, which you
may need to add to PATH within node to be able to use command directly.
``` shell
sudo python3 -m pip install .
```
!!! note
Some Linux distros will not have **/usr/local** in their PATH and you
will need to compensate.
``` shell
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local
```
### Running the Server
The server will print and log connected clients and their messages.
``` shell
usage: chatapp-server [-h] [-a ADDRESS] [-p PORT]
chat app server
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-a ADDRESS, --address ADDRESS
address to listen on (default: )
-p PORT, --port PORT port to listen on (default: 9001)
```
### Running the Client
The client will print and log messages from other clients and their join/leave status.
``` shell
usage: chatapp-client [-h] -a ADDRESS [-p PORT]
chat app client
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-a ADDRESS, --address ADDRESS
address to listen on (default: None)
-p PORT, --port PORT port to listen on (default: 9001)
```
### Installing the Chat App Service
1. You will first need to edit **/etc/core/core.conf** to update the config
service path to pick up your service
``` shell
custom_config_services_dir = <path for service>
```
2. Then you will need to copy/move **chatapp/chatapp_service.py** to the directory
configured above
3. Then you will need to restart the **core-daemon** to pick up this new service
4. Now the service will be an available option under the group **ChatApp** with
the name **ChatApp Server**
