It is a prototype of a money transfer program that will allow transfer of money from Ghana to the United States. A Demo of it can be accessed from here - drive.google.com ## Running the project Running the project requires five components: MongoDB database, Server, PayPal Server, MTN Mobile Money (MoMo) Server and Clients. Make sure that the following ports are open on the machine you run it on: 8080, 8081, 8082 and 27017. See below for how to start the various components. ### Note that you need to start the database server and all other servers for the prototype to work properly MongoDB database - The quickest way to run a MongoDB for the project is to use a docker container running on port 0.0.0.0:27017. - To create the MongoDB docker container, do the following: - Pull mongodb image - sudo docker pull mongo - Create container - sudo docker run -p 0.0.0.0:27017:27017/tcp --name cashtransfermongo -d mongo Server - Open a new terminal - Change directory into /dev/bin directory - Run command - ./server PayPal Server - Open a new terminal - Change directory into /dev/bin directory - Run command - ./paypalserver MoMo Server - Open a new terminal - Change directory into /dev/bin directory - Run command - ./momoserver Client You will need two or more clients to run to simulate the transfers. To run each client, do the following: - Open a new terminal - Change directory into /dev/bin directory - Run command - ./client To transfer money between clients the first time the database is created, you should make sure the following are done. - After starting components and clients: - Create PayPal and MoMo accounts for each of the clients - Create an account for the cash transfer app for each of the clients
