*Multi-room P2P chat on Holochain

Install

1. Install the Holochain command line dev tool by following the instructions here: https://developer.holochain.org/start.html

2. Clone this repo:

    git clone https://github.com/holochain/holochat-rust

3. Make sure things are working by running the tests:

cd holochat-rust
cd test && npm install && cd ..
hc test | test/node_modules/faucet/bin/cmd.js

Note that by using the " | test/node_modules/faucet/bin/cmd.js" you lose the console.log output of your tests, but gain nice color coding. If you want to see the logs, just use hc test.

4. Compile the DNA and run it using hc with:

hc run --port 3400 --package

Finally to run the holochat UI, simply open the ui/index.html file in a browser, and it should start communicating with the hc via websockets.
