TRY IT!
-------

 - Run the server

   Please follow the instruction in [Node](https://github.com/grpc/grpc-common/tree/master/node) to run the server
   ```
   $ cd grpc-common/node
   $ nodejs greeter_server.js
   ```

 - Run the client

   ```
   $ cd grpc-common/php
   $ php composer.phar install
   $ php -d extension=grpc.so greeter_client.php
   ```

NOTE
----

This directory has a copy of `helloworld.proto` because it currently depends on
some Protocol Buffer 2.0 syntax. There is no proto3 support for PHP yet.
