SoBay

Auction System for Linux, with a server/client architecture.

Features 📑

• Backend: The application responsible for responding to all the requests from the clients
• Frontend: The application where all clients login to participate in the auction

No Frontend can be initialized without the Backend being ON

How to Use 🛠

In the terminal use the following command:
make rr - This will initialize/compile all the programms needed
make clear - This will clear all the temporary files and the .exe files

./backend - to initialize the backend application
./frontend <username> <password> - to initialize the frontend application

It's required 3 ambient variables: FUSERS, FITENS and FPROMOTORES. They're gonna store the path for each file.
