Install protobuf 3 on Ubuntu

# Make sure you grab the latest version
curl -OL https://github.com/google/protobuf/releases/download/v3.2.0/protoc-3.2.0-linux-x86_64.zip

# Unzip
unzip protoc-3.2.0-linux-x86_64.zip -d protoc3

# Move protoc to /usr/local/bin/
sudo mv protoc3/bin/* /usr/local/bin/

# Move protoc3/include to /usr/local/include/
sudo mv protoc3/include/* /usr/local/include/

# Optional: change owner
sudo chwon [user] /usr/local/bin/protoc
sudo chwon -R [user] /usr/local/include/google

should add ln -s /usr/local/bin/protoc /usr/bin/protoc

Thanks

redhat@redhat-HP-245-G5-Notebook-PC:~$ sudo chown [redhat] /usr/local/bin/protocchown: invalid user: ‘[redhat]’
how to solve this error?? ple help me :::))

@purusothaman2502 remove the [ ] for your user.

Command becomes sudo chown redhat /usr/local/bin/protocchown

How can I update the library too?
Cmake gives me:
Protobuf compiler version 3.3.0 doesn't match library version 3.0.0
(on ubuntu-bionic)

Thank you!
There are a typos in line 14 and line 15: chown is misspelled.

Hi How to install google protobuf along with protoc ?

Change chwon to chown

thanks . workeed

Awesome !! Worked.

I added auto get version and made it work as a script file

#! /bin/bash

TEMP_DIR=/tmp


VERSION=`curl --silent "https://api.github.com/repos/protocolbuffers/protobuf/releases/latest" | grep -Po '"tag_name": "v\K.*?(?=")'`

[[ -z VERSION ]] && echo "Could not get version from github"

mkdir $TEMP_DIR/protoc_inst

cd $TEMP_DIR/protoc_inst

# Make sure you grab the latest version
curl -OL "https://github.com/google/protobuf/releases/download/v$VERSION/protoc-$VERSION-linux-x86_64.zip"

# Unzip
unzip "protoc-$VERSION-linux-x86_64.zip" -d protoc3

# Move protoc to /usr/local/bin/
sudo mv protoc3/bin/* /usr/local/bin/

# Move protoc3/include to /usr/local/include/
sudo mv protoc3/include/* /usr/local/include/

rm -rf $TEMP_DIR/protoc_inst

How to solve the problem that is:

Protobuf compiler version 3.6.1 doesn't match library version 3.0.0?

Thank you.

Here the link to my Gist if you are interested in recovering the previous version of protobuf installed on your pc (Ubuntu 16.04).
