Installation

There are two types of Installation. One using mosquittoChat as a binary by installaing from pip and running the application in the local machine directly. Another method is running the application from Docker. Hence another set of installation steps for the Docker use case.

This git secrets project helps in preventing secrete leakage by mistake.

[Docker Method] Dependencies
