PREREQUISITES
|
|
|
|
|
-------------

|
|
|
|
- `node`: This requires Node 10.x or greater.
|
|
|
|
|
- [homebrew][] on Mac OS X, [linuxbrew][] on Linux. These simplify the installation of the gRPC C core.

NOTE
|
|
|
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
|
This directory has a copy of `helloworld.proto` because it currently depends on
|
|
|
|
|
some Protocol Buffer 2.0 syntax that is deprecated in Protocol Buffer 3.0.
