| # gRPC in 3 minutes (C++) |
| |
| ## Installation |
| |
| To install gRPC on your system, follow the instructions to build from source |
| [here](../../BUILDING.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. |
