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: + + [https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/com/google/protobuf/protoc/](https://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 | [php](php) | +| Dart | [dart-lang/protobuf](https://github.com/dart-lang/protobuf) | + + +Usage +----- + +The complete documentation for Protocol Buffers is available via the +web at: + +https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/ |
