If you'd prefer to not set up Haskell locally, you may instead build the chat client executable using [docker build with custom output](https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/build/#custom-build-outputs):
```shell
$ git clone git@github.com:simplex-chat/simplex-messaging.git
$ cd simplex-messaging
$ DOCKER_BUILDKIT=1 docker build --output ~/.local/bin .
$ dog-food
```
> **NOTE:** when running chat client executable built with the latter approach, if you encounter ``version `GLIBC_2.28' not found`` error, rebuild it with `haskell:8.8.4-stretch` base image instead (you'd have to change it in your local [Dockerfile](Dockerfile)).
`dog-food` (as in "eating your own dog food" - it is an early prototype) starts chat client with default parameters. By default, SQLite database file is created in the working directory (`smp-chat.db`), and the default SMP server is `smp.simplex.im:5223`.
To specify a different chat database location run:
```bash
mkdir ~/simplex
dog-food -d ~/simplex/my-chat.db
```shell
$ mkdir ~/simplex
$ dog-food -d ~/simplex/my-chat.db
```
You can deploy your own server and set client to use it via command line option:
```bash
dog-food -s smp.example.com:5223
```shell
$ dog-food -s smp.example.com:5223
```
You can still talk to people using default or any other server, it only affects the location of the message queue when you initiate the connection (and the reply queue can be on another server, as set by the other party's client).
