## Running Pixorama

To test Pixorama, start the server by navigating to the `pixorama_server` directory and running:
To test Pixorama, start the server and the app from the `pixorama_server` directory:

```bash
dart bin/main.dart
serverpod start
```

Then, launch the Flutter app by changing to the `pixorama_flutter` directory and running:
`serverpod start` runs the server and opens the Flutter app, and hot reloads both as you save changes.

```bash
flutter run -d chrome
```
:::info
To pick the device yourself, run `serverpod start --no-flutter`, then change to the `pixorama_flutter` directory and run `flutter run -d chrome`. Running `flutter run` next to the app `serverpod start` opened also works: each instance is another drawing client.
:::

You can also start a second instance of the app to see real-time updates reflected across both instances.
