| #gRPC in 3 minutes (C++) | |
| ## Installation | |
| To install gRPC on your system, follow the instructions to build from source | |
| [here](../../INSTALL.md). This also installs the protocol buffer compiler | |
| `protoc` (if you don't have it already), and the C++ gRPC plugin for `protoc`. | |
| ## Hello C++ gRPC! | |
| Here's how to build and run the C++ implementation of the [Hello | |
| World](../protos/helloworld.proto) example used in [Getting started](..). | |
| ### Client and server implementations | |
| The client implementation is at [greeter_client.cc](helloworld/greeter_client.cc). | |
| The server implementation is at [greeter_server.cc](helloworld/greeter_server.cc). | |
| ### Try it! | |
| Build client and server: | |
| ```sh | |
| $ make | |
| ``` | |
| Run the server, which will listen on port 50051: | |
| ```sh | |
| $ ./greeter_server | |
| ``` | |
| Run the client (in a different terminal): | |
| ```sh | |
| $ ./greeter_client | |
| ``` | |
| If things go smoothly, you will see the "Greeter received: Hello world" in the | |
| client side output. | |
