#### Install gRPC
To build and install gRPC plugins and related tools:
- For Java, see the [Java quick start](https://github.com/grpc/grpc-java).
- For Go, see the [Go quick start](https://github.com/grpc/grpc-go).
#### Get the source code
The example code for this and our other examples lives in the `grpc-common`
The example code for our Java example lives in the `grpc-java`
GitHub repository. Clone this repository to your local machine by running the
following command:
```
git clone https://github.com/google/grpc-common.git
git clone https://github.com/google/grpc-java.git
```
Change your current directory to grpc-common/java
Change your current directory to grpc-java/examples
```
cd grpc-common/java
cd grpc-java/examples
```
#### Install Java 8
Java gRPC is designed to work with both Java 7 and Java 8 - our example uses
Java 8. See
[Install Java
8](http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/install/install_overview.html)
for instructions if you need to install Java 8.
#### Install Maven
To simplify building and managing gRPC's dependencies, the Java client
and server are structured as a standard
[Maven](http://maven.apache.org/guides/getting-started/)
project. See [Install Maven](http://maven.apache.org/users/index.html)
for instructions.
#### Install Go 1.4
Go gRPC requires Go 1.4, the latest version of Go. See
[Install Go](https://golang.org/doc/install) for instructions.
#### (optional) Install protoc
gRPC uses the latest version of the [protocol
buffer](https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/docs/overview)
compiler, protoc.
Having protoc installed isn't strictly necessary to follow along with this
example, as all the
generated code is checked into the Git repository. However, if you want
to experiment
with generating the code yourself, download and install protoc from its
[Git repo](https://github.com/google/protobuf)

the example, you can skip this step and move
onto the next one where we examine the generated code.)
As this is our first time using gRPC, we need to build the protobuf plugin
that generates our RPC
classes. By default `protoc` just generates code for reading and writing
protocol buffers, so you need to use plugins to add additional features
to generated code. As we're creating Java code, we use the gRPC Java plugin.
To build the plugin, follow the instructions in the relevant repo: for Java,
the instructions are in [`grpc-java`](https://github.com/grpc/grpc-java).
For simplicity, we've provided a [Gradle build file](https://github.com/grpc/grpc-java/blob/master/examples/build.gradle) with our Java examples that runs `protoc` for you with the appropriate plugin, input, and output:
To use it to generate the code:
```sh
$ mkdir -p src/main/java
$ protoc -I . helloworld.proto
--plugin=protoc-gen-grpc=external/grpc_java/bins/opt/java_plugin \

--java_out=src/main/java

Our server application has two classes:

#### Service implementation
[GreeterImpl.java](java/src/main/java/ex/grpc/GreeterImpl.java)
[GreeterImpl.java](https://github.com/grpc/grpc-java/blob/master/examples/src/main/java/io/grpc/examples/HelloWorldServer.java#L51)
actually implements our GreetingService's required behaviour.
As you can see, the class `GreeterImpl` implements the interface
`GreeterGrpc.Greeter` that we [generated](#generating) from our proto
[IDL](java/src/main/proto/helloworld.proto) by implementing the method `hello`:
[IDL](https://github.com/grpc/grpc-java/tree/master/examples/src/main/proto) by implementing the method `sayHello`:
```java
public void hello(Helloworld.HelloRequest req,
StreamObserver<Helloworld.HelloReply> responseObserver) {
Helloworld.HelloReply reply =
Helloworld.HelloReply.newBuilder().setMessage(
"Hello " + req.getName()).build();
responseObserver.onValue(reply);
responseObserver.onCompleted();
}
@Override
public void sayHello(HelloRequest req, StreamObserver<HelloReply> responseObserver) {
HelloReply reply = HelloReply.newBuilder().setMessage("Hello " + req.getName()).build();
responseObserver.onValue(reply);
responseObserver.onCompleted();
}
```
- `hello` takes two parameters:
- `Helloworld.HelloRequest`: the request
- `StreamObserver<Helloworld.HelloReply>`: a response observer, which is
- `HelloRequest`: the request
- `StreamObserver<HelloReply>`: a response observer, which is
a special interface for the server to call with its response
To return our response to the client and complete the call:
1. We construct and populate a `HelloReply` response object with our exciting
message, as specified in our interface definition.
2. We use the`responseObserver` to return the `HelloReply` to the client
and then specify that we've finished dealing with the RPC
