+
+#Overview
+
+This directory contains source code for C++ implementation of gRPC.
+
+#Status
+
+Beta
+
+#Pre-requisites
+
+##Linux
+
+```sh
+ $ [sudo] apt-get install build-essential autoconf libtool
+```
+
+##Mac OSX
+
+For a Mac system, git is not available by default. You will first need to
+install Xcode from the Mac AppStore and then run the following command from a
+terminal:
+
+```sh
+ $ [sudo] xcode-select --install
+```
+
+##Protoc
+
+By default gRPC uses [protocol buffers](https://github.com/google/protobuf),
+you will need the `protoc` compiler to generate stub server and client code.
+
+If you compile gRPC from source, as described below, this also installs the
+`protoc` compiler.
+
+If it hasn't been installed, you can run the following commands to install it.
+
+```sh
+$ cd grpc/third_party/protobuf
+$ sudo make install   # 'make' should have been run by core grpc
+```
+
+Alternatively, you can download `protoc` binaries from
+[the protocol buffers Github repository](https://github.com/google/protobuf/releases).
+
+#Installation
+
+Currently to install gRPC for C++, you need to build from source as described
+below.
+
+#Build from Source
+
+```sh
+ $ git clone https://github.com/grpc/grpc.git
+ $ cd grpc
+ $ git submodule update --init
+ $ make
+ $ [sudo] make install
+```
+
+#Documentation
+
+You can find out how to build and run our simplest gRPC C++ example in our
+[C++ quick start](https://github.com/grpc/grpc/tree/{{ site.data.config.grpc_release_branch }}/examples/cpp).
+
+For more detailed documentation on using gRPC in C++ , see our main
+documentation site at [grpc.io](http://grpc.io), specifically:
+
+* [Overview](http://www.grpc.io/docs/): An introduction to gRPC with a simple
+  Hello World example in all our supported languages, including C++.
+* [gRPC Basics - C++](http://www.grpc.io/docs/tutorials/basic/c.html):
+  A tutorial that steps you through creating a simple gRPC C++ example
+  application.
+* [Asynchronous Basics - C++](http://www.grpc.io/docs/tutorials/async/helloasync-cpp.html):
+  A tutorial that shows you how to use gRPC C++'s asynchronous/non-blocking
+  APIs.
+
+
+# Examples
+
+Code examples for gRPC C++ live in this repository's
+[examples/cpp](https://github.com/grpc/grpc/tree/{{ site.data.config.grpc_release_branch }}/examples/cpp) directory.
