To use the tool, you need to get the grpc repository and make sure your system
has the prerequisites for building grpc from source, given in the [installation
instructions](https://github.com/grpc/grpc/blob/master/INSTALL.md).
In order to build the grpc command line tool from a fresh clone of the grpc
repository, you need to run the following command to update submodules:
```
git submodule update --init
```
You also need to have the gflags library installed on your system. On Linux
systems, gflags can be installed with the following command:
```
sudo apt-get install libgflags-dev
```
Once the prerequisites are satisfied, you can build the command line tool with
the command:
```
$ make grpc_cli
