Run Federated Learning with TensorFlow/Keras with Flower

Afterward, you are ready to start the Flower server as well as the clients. You can simply start the server in a terminal as follows:

./dev/server.sh

Now you are ready to start the clients. We have prepared a simple script called client.sh, which accepts a CLIENT_ID and can be executed as in:

# Shell 1
./dev/client.sh 1

# Shell 2
./dev/client.sh 2
