# Running the NsSample sample program

To run the `NsSample` program, follow these steps.

1. Open a command prompt and change to the `%DERBY_HOME%\demo\` directory, where `%DERBY_HOME%` is the directory where you installed Derby.
2. Set the CLASSPATH to the current directory ("."), and also include the following jar files in order to use the Network Server and the network client driver:
   `derbynet.jar`
     The Network Server jar file. It must be in your CLASSPATH to use any of the Network Server functions.
   `derbyclient.jar`
     This jar file must be in your CLASSPATH to use the Network Client driver.
   `derby.jar`
     The Derby database engine jar file.
3. Test the CLASSPATH settings by running the following Java command:

       java org.apache.derby.tools.sysinfo

   This command shows the Derby jar files that are in the classpath as well as their respective versions.
4. After you set up your environment correctly, run the `NsSample` program from the same directory:

       java nserverdemo.NsSample

   If the program runs successfully, you will receive output similar to the following:

       Using JDBC driver: org.apache.derby.jdbc.ClientDriver

Running the `NsSample` program also creates the following new directory and file:

`NSSampledb`
  This directory makes up the `NSSampledb` database.
`derby.log`
  This log file contains Derby progress and error messages.
