3 [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/grpc/grpc-go.svg)](https://travis-ci.org/grpc/grpc-go) [![GoDoc](https://godoc.org/google.golang.org/grpc?status.svg)](https://godoc.org/google.golang.org/grpc)
5 The Go implementation of [gRPC](http://www.grpc.io/): A high performance, open source, general RPC framework that puts mobile and HTTP/2 first. For more information see the [gRPC Quick Start](http://www.grpc.io/docs/) guide.
10 To install this package, you need to install Go and setup your Go workspace on your computer. The simplest way to install the library is to run:
13 $ go get google.golang.org/grpc
19 This requires Go 1.6 or later.
23 The grpc package should only depend on standard Go packages and a small number of exceptions. If your contribution introduces new dependencies which are NOT in the [list](http://godoc.org/google.golang.org/grpc?imports), you need a discussion with gRPC-Go authors and consultants.
27 See [API documentation](https://godoc.org/google.golang.org/grpc) for package and API descriptions and find examples in the [examples directory](examples/).

38 Please update proto package, gRPC package and rebuild the proto files:
39 - `go get -u github.com/golang/protobuf/{proto,protoc-gen-go}`
40 - `go get -u google.golang.org/grpc`
41 - `protoc --go_out=plugins=grpc:. *.proto`
