You -can find [protobuf's documentation on the Google Developers site](https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/). - -This README file contains protobuf installation instructions. To install -protobuf, you need to install the protocol compiler (used to compile .proto -files) and the protobuf runtime for your chosen programming language. - -Protocol Compiler Installation ------------------------------- - -The protocol compiler is written in C++. If you are using C++, please follow -the [C++ Installation Instructions](src/README.md) to install protoc along -with the C++ runtime. - -For non-C++ users, the simplest way to install the protocol compiler is to -download a pre-built binary from our release page: - - [https://github.com/google/protobuf/releases](https://github.com/google/protobuf/releases) - -In the downloads section of each release, you can find pre-built binaries in -zip packages: protoc-$VERSION-$PLATFORM.zip. It contains the protoc binary -as well as a set of standard .proto files distributed along with protobuf. - -If you are looking for an old version that is not available in the release -page, check out the maven repo here: - - [http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/com/google/protobuf/protoc/](http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/com/google/protobuf/protoc/) - -These pre-built binaries are only provided for released versions. If you want -to use the github master version at HEAD, or you need to modify protobuf code, -or you are using C++, it's recommended to build your own protoc binary from -source. - -If you would like to build protoc binary from source, see the [C++ Installation -Instructions](src/README.md). - -Protobuf Runtime Installation ------------------------------ - -Protobuf supports several different programming languages. For each programming -language, you can find instructions in the corresponding source directory about -how to install protobuf runtime for that specific language: - -| Language | Source | -|--------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------| -| C++ (include C++ runtime and protoc) | [src](src) | -| Java | [java](java) | -| Python | [python](python) | -| Objective-C | [objectivec](objectivec) | -| C# | [csharp](csharp) | -| JavaNano | [javanano](javanano) | -| JavaScript | [js](js) | -| Ruby | [ruby](ruby) | -| Go | [golang/protobuf](https://github.com/golang/protobuf) | -| PHP | TBD | - - -Usage ------ - -The complete documentation for Protocol Buffers is available via the -web at: - - https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/ |
