-
-#### gRPC
-
-We also need a version of gRPC that is recent enough to support the Google Cloud
-Platform proto files. We install it using:
-
-```bash
-mkdir -p $HOME/Downloads/grpc && cd $HOME/Downloads/grpc
-curl -fsSL https://github.com/grpc/grpc/archive/v1.74.1.tar.gz | \
-    tar -xzf - --strip-components=1 && \
-    cmake \
-        -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
-        -DCMAKE_CXX_STANDARD=17 \
-        -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=yes \
-        -DgRPC_INSTALL=ON \
-        -DgRPC_BUILD_TESTS=OFF \
-        -DgRPC_ABSL_PROVIDER=package \
-        -DgRPC_CARES_PROVIDER=package \
-        -DgRPC_PROTOBUF_PROVIDER=package \
-        -DgRPC_RE2_PROVIDER=package \
-        -DgRPC_SSL_PROVIDER=package \
-        -DgRPC_ZLIB_PROVIDER=package \
-        -S . -B cmake-out && \
-    cmake --build cmake-out -- -j ${NCPU:-4} && \
-sudo cmake --build cmake-out --target install -- -j ${NCPU:-4} && \
-sudo ldconfig
-```
-
-#### nlohmann_json library
-
-The project depends on the nlohmann_json library. We use CMake to install it as
-this installs the necessary CMake configuration files. Note that this is a
-header-only library, and often installed manually. This leaves your environment
-without support for CMake pkg-config.
-
-```bash
-mkdir -p $HOME/Downloads/json && cd $HOME/Downloads/json
-curl -fsSL https://github.com/nlohmann/json/archive/v3.11.3.tar.gz | \
-    tar -xzf - --strip-components=1 && \
-    cmake \
-      -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
-      -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=yes \
-      -DBUILD_TESTING=OFF \
-      -DJSON_BuildTests=OFF \
-      -S . -B cmake-out && \
-sudo cmake --build cmake-out --target install -- -j ${NCPU:-4} && \
-sudo ldconfig
-```
-
-#### opentelemetry-cpp
-
-The project has an **optional** dependency on the OpenTelemetry library. We
-recommend installing this library because:
-
-- the dependency will become required in the google-cloud-cpp v3.x series.
-- it is needed to produce distributed traces of the library.
-
-```bash
-mkdir -p $HOME/Downloads/opentelemetry-cpp && cd $HOME/Downloads/opentelemetry-cpp
-curl -fsSL https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-cpp/archive/v1.24.0.tar.gz | \
-    tar -xzf - --strip-components=1 && \
-    cmake \
-        -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
-        -DCMAKE_CXX_STANDARD=17 \
-        -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=yes \
-        -DWITH_EXAMPLES=OFF \
-        -DWITH_STL=CXX17 \
-        -DBUILD_TESTING=OFF \
-        -DOPENTELEMETRY_INSTALL=ON \
-        -DOPENTELEMETRY_ABI_VERSION_NO=2 \
-        -S . -B cmake-out && \
-sudo cmake --build cmake-out --target install -- -j ${NCPU:-4} && \
-sudo ldconfig
-```
-
-#### Compile and install the main project
-
-We can now compile and install `google-cloud-cpp`:
-
-```bash
-# Pick a location to install the artifacts, e.g., `/usr/local` or `/opt`
-PREFIX="${HOME}/google-cloud-cpp-installed"
-cmake -S . -B cmake-out \
-  -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
-  -DCMAKE_CXX_STANDARD=17 \
-  -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="${PREFIX}" \
-  -DBUILD_TESTING=OFF \
-  -DGOOGLE_CLOUD_CPP_WITH_MOCKS=OFF \
-  -DGOOGLE_CLOUD_CPP_ENABLE_EXAMPLES=OFF \
-  -DGOOGLE_CLOUD_CPP_ENABLE=__ga_libraries__,opentelemetry
-cmake --build cmake-out -- -j "$(nproc)"
-cmake --build cmake-out --target install
-```
