 the connection, we must first go over how to build and run a connection server.
 
 ### Building a Client
+
+E2E clients communicate with each other directly via the xx network.  
+To run and listen for messages, without attempting to contact another client, 
+set the `recipientContactPath` variable to an empty string.
+
+To build and run a client, exectue the following bash commands:
+```bash
+cd connectClient/
+go build -o client .
+./client 
+```
+
+This will start an e2e client which can be monitored via log activity in 
+`client.log`.  This will output its own contact file to `myE2eContact.xxc`.  
+It will also read the contact at `recipientE2eContact.xxc`, attempting to 
+establish a connection and send a test payload.  This functionality can be 
+skipped by setting the relevant variable in the code to empty string.  
+
+By default, the client sends a single message to the recipient, with the recipient
+registering a `receive.Listener` which listens to messages of type
+`catalog.NoType` from `id.ZeroUser`.
+
+Verification that the client is able to send messages may
+also be done. This can be done by checking the client's log for the string
+`Message received`.
+
+```bash
+grep "Message received" server.log 
+INFO 2022/07/07 12:59:12.088046 Message received: {XxMessage WjdMwCH+...
