How to install protoc to use with grpc

install-protoc.sh

#Get a release here https://github.com/google/protobuf/releases

sudo -s
cd /usr/local/include

mkdir google

wget https://github.com/google/protobuf/releases/download/v3.5.0/protoc-3.5.0-linux-x86_64.zip -O protoc.zip
unzip protoc.zip -d tmp

#install protoc
mv tmp/bin/protoc /usr/local/bin/
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/protoc
protoc --version
# should say `libprotoc 3.5.0`

mv tmp/include/google/protobuf google/

#Note: Consider cloning this somewhere else like where you keep git repos. I use ~/git for example and use a symlink
git clone https://github.com/googleapis/googleapis.git tmp/googleapis
mv tmp/googleapis/google/api/ google/

chmod 755 -R ./google 

#clean up
rm -rf ./tmp/ protoc.zip 

exit
