+This will compile and install the gRPC PHP extension into the standard PHP extension directory. You should be able to run the [unit tests](#unit-tests), with the PHP extension installed.
+
+To run tests with generated stub code from `.proto` files, you will also need the `composer`, `protoc` and `protoc-gen-php` binaries. You can find out how to get these [below](#generated-code-tests).

-Install Composer
+## Unit Tests
+
+You will need the source code to run tests
+
+```sh
+$ git clone https://github.com/grpc/grpc.git
+$ cd grpc
+$ git pull --recurse-submodules && git submodule update --init --recursive

+
+## Generated Code Tests
+
+This section specifies the prerequisites for running the generated code tests, as well as how to run the tests themselves.
+
+### Composer
+
+If you don't have it already, install `composer` to pull in some runtime dependencies based on the `composer.json` file.
+
+```sh
$ curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
$ sudo mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer
+
+$ cd grpc/src/php
$ composer install
```
-## Unit Tests
+### Protobuf compiler
-Run unit tests
+Again if you don't have it already, you need to install the protobuf compiler `protoc`, version 3.0.0+.
+
+If you compiled the gRPC C core library from source above, the `protoc` binary should have been installed as well. If it hasn't been installed, you can run the following commands to install it.
```sh
-$ cd grpc/src/php
-$ ./bin/run_tests.sh
+$ cd grpc/third_party/protobuf
+$ sudo make install # 'make' should have been run by core grpc
```
-## Generated Code Tests
+Alternatively, you can download `protoc` binaries from [the protocol buffers Github repository](https://github.com/google/protobuf/releases).
-Install `protoc-gen-php`
+
+### PHP protobuf compiler
+
+You need to install `protoc-gen-php` to generate stub class `.php` files from service definition `.proto` files.
```sh
-$ cd grpc/src/php/vendor/datto/protobuf-php
+$ cd grpc/src/php/vendor/datto/protobuf-php # if you had run `composer install` in the previous step
+
+OR
+
+$ git clone https://github.com/stanley-cheung/Protobuf-PHP # clone from github repo
