7. Go to the Artifacts menu and select assignment:war_exploded

16. Run the React app by typing npm start while in the assignment2-client terminal

17. For the ConsoleApp interaction, make assignment2-app/app/main/java a src folder and run Activity.java by pressing the play button beside the main function. You may switch ports in the UploadClient.java file by altering the static port number(8081 or 8082).
