## Setup

## Setup

1.  Add MCPR to your `Cargo.toml`:

   ```toml
   [dependencies]
mcpr = "0.2.3"  # Make sure to use 0.2.3 or later, as 0.2.0 has been yanked
   ```

2.  For CLI tools, install globally:

   ```bash
cargo install mcpr
   ```

3.  When developing with generated templates, you can switch between using the published crate version and your local development version by modifying the `Cargo.toml` files in both client and server directories.

4.  To build the server, navigate to the server directory and run `cargo build`.

5.  To build the client, navigate to the client directory and run `cargo build`.
