| gRPC in 3 minutes (C#) |
| ======================== |
| |
| BACKGROUND |
| ------------- |
| For this sample, we've already generated the server and client stubs from [helloworld.proto][]. |
| |
| Example projects depend on the [Grpc](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Grpc/) |
| and [Google.Protobuf](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Google.Protobuf/) NuGet packages |
| which have been already added to the project for you. |
| |
| PREREQUISITES |
| ------------- |
| **Windows** |
| - .NET 4.5+ |
| - Visual Studio 2013 or 2015 |
| |
| **Linux** |
| - Mono 4.0+ |
| - Monodevelop 5.9+ (with NuGet plugin installed) |
| |
| **Mac OS X** |
| - Xamarin Studio 5.9+ |
| - [homebrew][] |
| |
| BUILD |
| ------- |
| |
| - Open solution `Greeter.sln` with Visual Studio, Monodevelop (on Linux) or Xamarin Studio (on Mac OS X) |
| |
| - Build the solution (this will automatically download NuGet dependencies) |
| |
| Try it! |
| ------- |
| |
| - Run the server |
| |
| ``` |
| > cd GreeterServer/bin/Debug |
| > GreeterServer.exe |
| ``` |
| |
| - Run the client |
| |
| ``` |
| > cd GreeterClient/bin/Debug |
| > GreeterClient.exe |
| ``` |
| |
| You can also run the server and client directly from the IDE. |
| |
| On Linux or Mac, use `mono GreeterServer.exe` and `mono GreeterClient.exe` to run the server and client. |
