      $ wget https://github.com/grpc/grpc/releases/download/release-0_5_0/libgrpc-dev_0.5.0_amd64.deb
      $ sudo dpkg -i libgrpc_0.5.0_amd64.deb libgrpc-dev_0.5.0_amd64.deb
      
  • Install this package's dependencies

    $ cd grpc-common/node
    $ npm install

  • Run the server

    $ # from this directory (grpc_common/node).
    $ node ./greeter_server.js &
    
  • Run the client

    $ # from this directory
    $ node ./greeter_client.js
    

NOTE

This directory has a copy of helloworld.proto because it currently depends on some Protocol Buffer 2.0 syntax that is deprecated in Protocol Buffer 3.0.
