Getting Started

4. Enter your Instance Locator ID at the top of the file src/App.js, as well as the URL of the authorization endpoint of your server, and in src/ChatScreen.js, the ID of the chat room.
5. In a terminal window, execute npm install to install the dependencies of the app.
6. Make sure the authentication server is running and start the chat app with npm start.
7. Enter the username and password in the first screen of the app to enter the chat.
8. Optionally, open the app in another browser to sign as another user and start chatting.
