Description

When building and installing using cmake, the binaries have very generic names like client and server. When installing to paths like /usr/bin, /usr/local/bin, /opt/bin or ~/bin the binaries aren't obviously associated with SPTAG. I suggest adding an sptag- prefix to the names of the binaries, so that it is obvious what they are when installed into a directory that is in the $PATH environment variable.

Research direction

Start with the CMake configuration that defines the client and server binary targets. Check how those targets are named during installation and update the installed names to use the sptag- prefix. Done means the CMake-built binaries are clearly named when placed in a PATH directory.
