Ah no, I was doing the steps manually with a project that doesn't use gradle or maven.
As I look back over the doc I see you did mention about the plugin, but I missed it. :( "Next we need to generate the gRPC client and server interfaces from our .proto service definition. We do this using the protocol buffer compiler protoc with a special gRPC Java plugin. You need to use the proto3 <https://github.com/google/protobuf/releases> compiler (which supports both proto2 and proto3 syntax) in order to generate gRPC services. When using Gradle or Maven, the protoc build plugin can generate the necessary code as part of the build. You can refer to the README <https://github.com/grpc/grpc-java/blob/master/README.md> for how to generate code from your own .proto files." The README link there points to gRPC instead of protobuf, not sure if that is intentional. And for better clarity perhaps add "a special gRPC Java plugin which is downloaded separately" and "the protoc build plugin can automatically download the protoc gRPC plugin and" or something. Once I figured that out, I was able to find and download the protoc plugin and adjust my protoc command line to include the protoc plugin and continue the tutorial successfully. :) Thank you!
