== Run the Websocket Console Client
The console client is included in an APEX full installation.
To run the client, open a new shell (Unix, Cygwin) or command prompt (`cmd` on Windows).
Then use the APEX application launcher to start the client.
[IMPORTANT]
.APEX engine needs to run first
====
The example assumes that an APEX engine configured for __consume__ carrier technology Websocket and __JSON__ event protocol is executed first.

|====================
| Unix, Cygwin | Windows
|
[source%nowrap,sh]
----
# $APEX_HOME/bin/apexApps.sh ws-console [args]
----
|
[source%nowrap,bat]
----
> %APEX_HOME%\bin\apexApps.bat ws-console [args]
----
|====================
Use the following command line arguments for server and port of the Websocket server.
The port should be the same as configured in the APEX engine.
The server host should be the host on which the APEX engine is running
- `-p` defines the Websocket port to connect to (defaults to `8887`)
- `-s` defines the host on which a Websocket server is running (defaults to `localhost`)
Let's assume that there is an APEX engine running, configured for consume Websocket carrier technology, as server, for port 42450, with consume event protocol JSON,.
If we start the console client on the same host, we can omit the `-s` options.
We start the console client as:
[source%nowrap,bat]
----
# $APEX_HOME/bin/apexApps.sh ws-console -p 42450 <1>
> %APEX_HOME%\bin\apexApps.sh ws-console -p 42450 <2>
----
<1> Start client on Unix or Cygwin
<2> Start client on Windows
Once started successfully, the client will produce the following messages (assuming we used `-p 42450` and an APEX engine is running on `localhost` with the same port:
[source%nowrap,bat]
----
ws-simple-console: starting simple event console
--> server: localhost
--> port: 42450
- terminate the application typing 'exit<enter>' or using 'CTRL+C'
- events are created by a non-blank starting line and terminated by a blank line
ws-simple-console: opened connection to APEX (Web Socket Protocol Handshake)
