+On Linux (or MacOS), you will first need to install protobuf and gRPC C Core using Linuxbrew (or Homebrew) tool in order to be

 Next we need to generate the gRPC client and server interfaces from our .proto service definition. We do this using the protocol buffer compiler `protoc` with a special gRPC C# plugin.
 
-If you want to run this yourself, make sure you've installed protoc and followed the gRPC C# plugin [installation instructions](https://github.com/grpc/grpc/blob/master/INSTALL) first.

-**TODO: more on how to install protoc and grpc_csharp_plugin**
+If you want to run this yourself, make sure you've installed protoc and gRPC C# plugin. The instructions vary based on your OS:
+- For Windows, the `Grpc` NuGet package contains all the libraries and tools you will need. No need to do any extra steps.
+- For Linux, make sure you've [installed gRPC C Core using Linuxbrew](https://github.com/grpc/grpc/tree/master/src/csharp#usage-linux-mono)
+- For MacOS, make sure you've [installed gRPC C Core using Homebrew](https://github.com/grpc/grpc/tree/master/src/csharp#usage-macos-mono)
 
 Once that's done, the following command can be used to generate the C# code.
 
+To generate the code on Windows, we use `protoc.exe` and `grpc_csharp_plugin.exe` binaries that are shipped with the `Grpc` NuGet package under the `tools` directory. Following command should be run from the `csharp/route_guide` directory:
+```
+> packages\Grpc.0.5.0\tools\protoc -I RouteGuide/protos --csharp_out=RouteGuide --grpc_out=RouteGuide --plugin=protoc-gen-grpc=packages\Grpc.0.5.0\tools\grpc_csharp_plugin.exe RouteGuide/protos/route_guide.proto
+```
+
+On Linux/MacOS, we rely on `protoc` and `grpc_csharp_plugin` being installed by Linuxbrew/Homebrew. Run this command from the route_guide directory:
 ```shell
 $ protoc -I RouteGuide/protos --csharp_out=RouteGuide --grpc_out=RouteGuide --plugin=protoc-gen-grpc=`which grpc_csharp_plugin` RouteGuide/protos/route_guide.proto
 ```

+Running one of the previous commands regenerates the following files in the RouteGuide directory:
 - `RouteGuide/RouteGuide.cs` defines a namespace `examples`
   - This contains all the protocol buffer code to populate, serialize, and retrieve our request and response message types
 - `RouteGuide/RouteGuideGrpc.cs`, provides stub and service classes
