#Pre-requisites |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
##Linux |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```sh |
|
|
|
|
$ [sudo] apt-get install build-essential autoconf libtool |
|
|
|
|
``` |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
##Mac OSX |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For a Mac system, git is not available by default. You will first need to |
|
|
|
|
install Xcode from the Mac AppStore and then run the following command from a |
|
|
|
|
terminal: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```sh |
|
|
|
|
$ [sudo] xcode-select --install |
|
|
|
|
``` |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
##Protoc |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
By default gRPC uses [protocol buffers](https://github.com/google/protobuf), |
|
|
|
|
you will need the `protoc` compiler to generate stub server and client code. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you compile gRPC from source, as described below, the Makefile will |
|
|
|
|
automatically try and compile the `protoc` in third party if you cloned the |
|
|
|
|
repository recursively and it detects that you don't already have it |
|
|
|
|
installed. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If it hasn't been installed, you can run the following commands to install it. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```sh |
|
|
|
|
$ cd grpc/third_party/protobuf |
|
|
|
|
$ sudo make install # 'make' should have been run by core grpc |
|
|
|
|
``` |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, you can download `protoc` binaries from |
|
|
|
|
[the protocol buffers Github repository](https://github.com/google/protobuf/releases). |
|
|
|
|
|
|

#INSTALLATION |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Currently to install gRPC for C++, you need to build from source as described below. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
#Build from Source |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```sh |
|
|
|
|
$ git clone https://github.com/grpc/grpc.git |
|
|
|
|
$ cd grpc |
|
|
|
|
$ git submodule update --init |
|
|
|
|
$ make |
|
|
|
|
$ [sudo] make install |
|
|
|
|
``` |
|
|
|
|
|
|
