FlatBuffers

Take a look at Google's guide: Building the compiler

Protocol Buffers

Here are some OS-specific options for installing the binary. These instructions also install basic .proto files like wrappers.proto, any.proto and descriptor.proto. (Those files aren’t needed by proto-lens itself, but they may be useful for other language bindings/plugins.)

####### Mac OS X If you have Homebrew (which you can get from https://brew.sh), just run:

# depends on protobuf (protoc)
brew install protoc-gen-go

If you see any error messages, run brew doctor, follow any recommended fixes, and try again. If it still fails, try instead:

brew upgrade protobuf Alternately, run the following commands:

curl -OL https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf/releases/download/v3.7.1/protoc-3.7.1-osx-x86_64.zip
sudo unzip -o protoc-3.7.1-osx-x86_64.zip -d /usr/local bin/protoc
sudo unzip -o protoc-3.7.1-osx-x86_64.zip -d /usr/local 'include/*'
rm -f protoc-3.7.1-osx-x86_64.zip

####### Linux Run the following commands:

curl -OL https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf/releases/download/v3.7.1/protoc-3.7.1-linux-x86_64.zip
sudo unzip -o protoc-3.7.1-linux-x86_64.zip -d /usr/local bin/protoc
sudo unzip -o protoc-3.7.1-linux-x86_64.zip -d /usr/local 'include/*'
rm -f protoc-3.7.1-linux-x86_64.zip

Alternately, manually download and install protoc from here.
