To run

Install dependencies first! (./dependencies.sh)
Each node operates both as a server and as a client.

Server

1. Start bootstrap node, providing necessary flags:
   • python3 server.py -bs -p 5000
     • -k repl_factor, where repl_factor is a positive int, default = 1
     • -c linearizability, default = eventual
2. Start other nodes, only providing a valid port number:
   • python3 server.py -p port

Client

To execute client actions one can use the CLI tool. When starting you only need to specify the port of a node already in the system, running on the same machine.

• python3 cli.py -p port
