A C# implementation of gRPC.
Ready for early adopters.
Prerequisites: .NET Framework 4.5+, Visual Studio 2013 with NuGet extension installed (VS2015 should work).
Open Visual Studio and start a new project/solution.
Add NuGet package Grpc
as a dependency (Project options -> Manage NuGet Packages). That will also pull all the transitive dependencies (including the native libraries that gRPC C# is internally using).

Prerequisites: Mono framework, MonoDevelop 5.9 with NuGet add-in installed.
Install gRPC C Core using instructions in https://github.com/grpc/homebrew-grpc
TODO: explain using LD_LIBRARY_PATH or installation to /usr/local
Open MonoDevelop and start a new project/solution.
Add NuGet package Grpc
as a dependency (Project -> Add NuGet packages).

You only need to go through these steps if you are planning to develop gRPC C#. If you are a user of gRPC C#, go to Usage section above.
Prerequisites for development: NET Framework 4.5+, Visual Studio 2013 (with NuGet and NUnit extensions installed).
The grpc_csharp_ext native library needs to be built so you can build the Grpc C# solution. You can either build the native solution in vsprojects/grpc.sln
from Visual Studio manually, or you can use a convenience batch script that builds everything for you.
buildall.bat
You only need to go through these steps if you are planning to develop gRPC C#. If you are a user of gRPC C#, go to Usage section above.
sudo apt-get install mono-devel sudo apt-get install nunit nunit-console
You can use older versions of MonoDevelop, but then you might need to restore NuGet dependencies manually (by nuget restore
), because older versions of MonoDevelop don't support NuGet add-in.
make grpc_csharp_ext sudo make install_grpc_csharp_ext
Use MonoDevelop to open the solution Grpc.sln
Build the solution & run all the tests from test view.
gRPC C# is using NUnit as the testing framework.
Under Visual Studio, make sure NUnit test adapter is installed (under "Extensions and Updates"). Then you should be able to run all the tests using Test Explorer.
Under Monodevelop, make sure you installed "NUnit support" in Add-in manager. Then you should be able to run all the test from the Test View.
After building the solution, you can also run the tests from command line using nunit-console tool.
