@protobuf-ts/protoc
===================

Installs the protocol buffer compiler "protoc" for you.

Installation (not necessary if you use the protobuf-ts plugin):

``shell script


with npm:

npm install @protobuf-ts/protoc

with yarn:

yarn add @protobuf-ts/protoc
`

Now you can run protoc as usual, you just have to prefix your command with
npx or yarn:

`shell script


with npm:

npx protoc --version

with yarn:

yarn protoc --version
`

If you do not already have protoc in your $PATH, this will automatically
download the latest release of protoc for your platform from the github
release page, then run the executable with your arguments.


#### Yarn berry

This package is not compatible with Yarn berry. Please use

#### Installing a specific version

following arguments:

1. --proto_path that points to the include/ directory of the
downloaded release (skipped when found on $PATH)
