Description

Hi, I followed the instruction and the service is waiting for assignment.
I tried to build the hello falken example but it failed because I didn't have a nasm compiler
Luckily I found a stack overflow answer that helped me:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/73214824/missing-cmake-asm-nasm-compiler-when-compiling-grpc-with-ms-visual-studio
I kindly suggest you add this compiler/.exe/whatever as a prerequisite alongside OpenSSL and python
Unless I installed the wrong version of OpenSSL that should've shipped this :/

Thanks and sorry to bother you!

Research direction

Start with the build instructions for the hello falken example and review the prerequisites listed alongside OpenSSL and Python. Confirm the Windows build failure caused by the missing NASM compiler, then update the relevant prerequisite documentation so a fresh setup identifies it before building.
