# Running a demo version

As for now, it's possible to take ReCodEx on a test drive on a single Linux 
machine. To do so, follow these steps:

- Install Python 3.5 and the `python-requests` library
- Clone and build the broker and worker
- Launch the testing file server contained in the `tools` directory of the 
  broker project
- Launch the broker (run it in the `examples` subdirectory which contains a 
  working config file)
- Launch a worker (again, use the `examples` subdirectory as the working 
  directory)
- Submit a directory using the `fake_submit.py` script in the `tools` directory 
  of the worker project
- Something should be happening now...

Follow the readmes of the projects and headers of the files with helper scripts 
(tools) if anything is unclear.
