Do I have to install separate codes on separate computers for a socket chat program??

Question

I am making a chat server on my own but don't know the exact procedure...help needed

Answer 1

No, just make sure the other computers support the language you're making it in (probably Java, in which case I have some stuff you can look at).

Here's mine:

Answer 2

No, you build the client and server on the same machine. The client will just have to have the necessary runtimes to use your program. ie if your build in Java they need to have the Java VM installed or if you use C# then they would have to have the same version of the .Net framework you used (or newer)
etc.
