+
+The nuget add-in available for Xamarin Studio and Monodevelop IDEs is too old to 
+download all of the nuget dependencies of gRPC. One alternative to is to use the dotnet command line tools instead (see [helloworld-from-cli]).
+
+Using these IDEs, a workaround is as follows:
+* Obtain a nuget executable for your platform and update it with
+ `nuget update -self`. 
+* Navigate to this directory and run `nuget restore`.
+* Now that packages have been restored into their proper package folder, build the solution from your IDE.
 
 Try it!
