There is a demo pvserver included in the installation package. Change to the directory containing the demo and start the demo server.
cd /opt/pvb/pvsexample ./pvsexample
Within the console the demo pvserver prints the following: Info: going to accept on port 5050
This means that the server is waiting for clients on it's default port 5050. Currently the pvserver is started in foreground. Howto start pvserver in background will be explained later. The pvserver can be controlled with some options.
