Building

Make sure you have a C compiler (such as gcc) and make installed

To build the application and generate executable, run:

make

To remove all compiled object files and any bank account data files used by the program, run:

make clean

Running the Program

To run the executable, use:

./app

you must include a users.txt in /files/ in order to login

write plaintext username and password pairs, for example:

username1 password1
username2 password2

Controls & Navigation

The program uses a keyboard-driven interface for the TUI:

• ↑ / ↓ or TAB to cycle through menu options
• ENTER to confirm the currently selected option
• ← / → to navigate within truncated text input fields
• ESC to immediately terminate the app
