Please take the time to read the documentation and look at the example files in the docs/example_app_ipp_v3/ directory for the code you downloaded. Also, make sure you follow the quick-start guide. And next time, post your code.

If you look in the same dev/ directory for the code you're using, you'll see a file named:

DO_NOT_USE_THESE_FILES.txt

With the contents:

DO NOT USE THE EXAMPLES IN THIS FOLDER! 

THESE ARE ALL DEVELOPMENT/TEST SCRIPTS, AND ARE NOT PRODUCTION READY!

You should not be using the example script you're trying to use just like the file says. It's a development testing script, and not an example that you should be using.

Instead, you should look at the code in the docs directory, which has tons of working examples. Here's a link for you to the examples on GitHub:
