# Deploy Client Node

To deploy a client, execute the `node` program using the command-line option `client_node`, specifying your desired IP address and port number for listening. Additionally, provide the IP address and port number of the setup node as the final two arguments. The command syntax is as follows:

```bash
./node client_node <your_ip> <your_port> <setup_node_ip> <setup_node_port>
```

It is important to note that the client does not currently listen on any port; however, this behaviour may be modified in future iterations to enable a push-based communication mechanism.

The client node also require  `server.pem` , this must be located in the current working directory. \
\
Note 1 - This client node sends a simple request, generally you will want to customize this, see the Tutorials section for the same.\
\
Note 2 - The `node` program is available in examples directory of [GitHub repository](https://github.com/OpenVectorAI/CoFHE/tree/main), follow the build steps specified in the readme of repository, latter we will also provide already built binaries for the same for popular platforms.
