How to install

Python version required: 3.7+

    - `READ_PORT` - port for read messages from chat. \
    - `SEND_PORT` - port for write messages to chat. \
    - `ATTEMPTS_COUNT` - connection attempts before 3 sec timeout.  \

    - `TOKEN_FILE_PATH` - path to file with unique user token(by default - `./token.txt`)\

How to launch

Instead environ vars you can use arguments. For more info use python3 chat_register.py --help (for register) and python3 gui_chat.py --help (for chat) \
For using environ vars you need source env/.env_file.

1. If you want to register:
   1) Run python3 chat_register.py.
   2) Enter desired nickname. If all ok token will be saved in token file.
2. If you are already registered or don’t want register:
   1) For signin token is required. You can set it in env/.env_file or use argument or load from file(
   uses argument too or default ./token.txt.).
   2) Run python3 gui_chat.py
