Compilation

1 - First things first, you need to clone this repository:

git clone https://github.com/RogerioLS/Mini_Talk-42sp

2 - Go to Minitalk and run make

cd Mini_Talk-42sp/
make

3 - Run server to get its PID and use it on client side to send the message you want.

./server
./client <server_PID> <message>

and that's basically it! :)
