261) First things first, you'll need to install the Thrift compiler and the
27 language libraries. Do that using the instructions in the top level
28 README.md file.
29
302) Read tutorial.thrift to learn about the syntax of a Thrift file
31
323) Compile the code for the language of your choice:
33
34 $ thrift
35 $ thrift -r --gen cpp tutorial.thrift
36
374) Take a look at the generated code.
38
395) Look in the language directories for sample client/server code.

416) That's about it for now. This tutorial is intentionally brief. It should be
42 just enough to get you started and ready to build your own project.
