### Install protoc and the gRPC plugin without using Homebrew
First install v3 of the Protocol Buffers compiler (_protoc_), by cloning [its Git repository](https://github.com/google/protobuf) and following these [installation instructions](https://github.com/google/protobuf#c-installation---unix) (the ones titled C++; don't miss the note for Mac users).
If you don't want to create the symbolic link, you can alternatively copy the binary (with the appropriate name). Or you might prefer instead to specify the plugin's path as a flag when invoking _protoc_, in which case no system modification nor renaming is necessary.

### Integrate the generated gRPC library without using Cocoapods
You need to compile the generated `.pbpbjc.*` files (the enums and messages) without ARC support, and the generated `.pbrpc.*` files (the services) with ARC support. The generated code depends on v0.3+ of the Objective-C gRPC runtime library and v3.0+ of the Objective-C Protobuf runtime library.
