 If your project is using cmake, there are several ways to add gRPC dependency.
 - install gRPC via cmake first and then locate it with `find_package(gRPC CONFIG)`. [Example](../../examples/cpp/helloworld/CMakeLists.txt)
 - via cmake's `ExternalProject_Add` using a technique called "superbuild". [Example](../../examples/cpp/helloworld/cmake_externalproject/CMakeLists.txt)
