CS4032 Lab3: a tcp socket chat server implementing a specific protocol

## Prerequisites Elixir v1.4-dev at least they don't have that packaged yet so you'll need to build from source

to get this running on a fresh digital ocean droplet I merely: installed erlang:

sudo apt-get install erlang

then cloned and ran the elixir make as outlined here:

git clone https://github.com/elixir-lang/elixir.git && cd elixir

make clean test

if all the tests pass you'll have a juicy bit of bleeding edge elixir at your fingertips, add the executables to your path:

export PATH="$PATH:/path/to/where/you/cloned/elixir/bin"

to get it working on macOS where I already had elixir + erlang installed, I merely: removed the stable elixir:

brew uninstall elixir

and then did the clone/make/path steps above

Installation

Start the server:

./start.sh 5000

Then talk to it.
