 This directory contains source code for C++ implementation of gRPC.
 
-# Pre-requisites
+To install gRPC for C++ on your system, follow the instructions to build from source
-
+[here](../../INSTALL.md). This also installs the protocol buffer compiler
-## Linux
+`protoc` (if you don't have it already), and the C++ gRPC plugin for `protoc`.
-
-```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, this also installs the
-`protoc` compiler.
-
-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 -b $(curl -L https://grpc.io/release) https://github.com/grpc/grpc
- $ cd grpc
- $ git submodule update --init
- $ make
