Agora provides a runnable sample project with the Server Gateway SDK. This page shows you how to run the sample project to send and receive media streams.

    ## Get the sample project [#get-the-sample-project]

    [Download](/en/api-reference/sdks?product=server-gateway\&platform=linux) the latest x86-64 SDK package and decompress the file. If you need the SDK build for other architectures, [submit a ticket](https://agora-ticket.agora.io/) to technical support.

    ## Compile the sample project [#compile-the-sample-project]

    Run the following commands to compile the sample project:

    ```bash
    # Switch to the sample project folder
    cd agora_rtc_sdk/example
    # Build the sample project
    ./build-x86_64.sh
    # Sync and video/audio data needed by the project
    cd out
    ../sync-data.sh
    # Export the libraries from the SDK to LD_LIBRARY_PATH
    export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=../../agora_sdk:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
    ```

    ## Send media streams from the server [#send-media-streams-from-the-server]

    This section uses the `sample_send_h264_pcm` project to demonstrate sending media streams from the server.

    ### Run the sample [#run-the-sample]

    Run the following command to execute the `sample_send_h264_pcm` sample project.

    ```bash
    # Run sample_send_h264_pcm to send video in H.264 format and audio in PCM format
    ./sample_send_h264_pcm --token YOUR_RTC_TOKEN --channelId demo_channel --videoFile test_data/send_video.h264 --audioFile test_data/send_audio_16k_1ch.pcm
    ```

    Replace the parameter value of `--token`, with your Video SDK temporary token. Replace the parameter value of `--channelId` with the value of your Video SDK channel ID.

    <CalloutContainer type="info">
      <CalloutDescription>
        Use the same Video SDK channel ID that you used to generate the temporary token.
      </CalloutDescription>
    </CalloutContainer>

    ### Use the web demo to receive streams sent from the server [#use-the-web-demo-to-receive-streams-sent-from-the-server]

    To simulate a client receiving data in a browser, use the Agora Web demo.

    1. Use a PC or mobile device to open the [Agora Video SDK Web SDK sample project](https://webdemo.agora.io/basicVideoCall/index.html) and fill in the following fields:

       * **APP ID**：Specify your Agora app ID. The ID must be the same as the one you used for your server.
       * **Channel Name**：Specify the same channel name you used for the server.
       * **Token**: Specify a valid Video SDK temporary token.

    2. Click **Join** to receive media streams from the server.

    ## Receive media streams from the client [#receive-media-streams-from-the-client]

    This section  uses the `sample_receive_h264_pcm` project to demonstrate receiving media streams from the client.

    ### Run the sample [#run-the-sample-1]

    Run the following command to launch the `sample_receive_h264_pcm` project.

    ```bash
    # Run sample_receive_h264_pcm to receive video in H.264 format and audio in PCM format
    ./sample_receive_h264_pcm --token YOUR_RTC_TOKEN --channelId demo_channel
    ```

    Replace the parameter value of `--token`, with your Video SDK temporary token. Replace the parameter value of `--channelId` with the value of your Video SDK channel ID.

    When the sample project is running, the console outputs the following information:

    ```text
    [ APP_LOG_INFO ] Subscribe streams from all remote users
    [ APP_LOG_INFO ] Start receiving audio & video data ...
    [ APP_LOG_INFO ] Created file received_audio.pcm to save received PCM samples
    [ APP_LOG_INFO ] onUserAudioTrackStateChanged: userId 4088243221, state 1, reason 0
    [ APP_LOG_INFO ] onUserAudioTrackStateChanged: userId 4088243221, state 2, reason 6
    [ APP_LOG_INFO ] onUserInfoUpdated: userId 4088243221, msg 0, val 0
    [ APP_LOG_INFO ] onUserInfoUpdated: userId 4088243221, msg 4, val 1
    [ APP_LOG_INFO ] onUserInfoUpdated: userId 4088243221, msg 8, val 1
    [ APP_LOG_INFO ] onUserInfoUpdated: userId 4088243221, msg 1, val 1
    ```

    ### Use the web demo to send media streams to the server [#use-the-web-demo-to-send-media-streams-to-the-server]

    1. Use a PC or mobile device to open the [Agora Video SDK Web SDK sample project](https://webdemo.agora.io/basicVideoCall/index.html) and specify the following fields:

       * **APP ID**：Specify your Agora app ID. The ID must be the same as the one you used for your server.
       * **Channel Name**：Specify the same channel name you used for the server.
       * **Token**: Specify a valid Video SDK temporary token.

    2. Click **Join** to send media streams to the server.

       When the sample server project is running, the console prints the following information:

       ```text
       [ APP_LOG_INFO ] onUserInfoUpdated: userId 436868190, msg 0, val 1
       [ APP_LOG_INFO ] onUserInfoUpdated: userId 436868190, msg 4, val 1
       [ APP_LOG_INFO ] onUserInfoUpdated: userId 436868190, msg 8, val 1
       [ APP_LOG_INFO ] onUserInfoUpdated: userId 436868190, msg 1, val 1
       [ APP_LOG_INFO ] onUserInfoUpdated: userId 436868190, msg 0, val 0
       [ APP_LOG_INFO ] onUserInfoUpdated: userId 436868190, msg 1, val 0
       [ APP_LOG_INFO ] onUserVideoTrackSubscribed: userId 436868190, codecType 1, encodedFrameOnly 1
       [ APP_LOG_INFO ] onUserAudioTrackStateChanged: userId 436868190, state 1, reason 0
       [ APP_LOG_INFO ] onUserAudioTrackStateChanged: userId 436868190, state 2, reason 6
       [ APP_LOG_INFO ] Created file received_video.h264 to save received H264 frames
       [ APP_LOG_INFO ] onUserAudioTrackStateChanged: userId 436868190, state 0, reason 7
       ```

       The received video and audio data is saved to the `received_video.h264` and `received_audio.pcm` files, respectively.
