protoc: command not found

[aflat00n]

In step 2g, when verifying if tensorflow is working or not, getting this protoc: command not found error

Please have a look anyone, any help or guidance is much appreciated.

When running this:

%%bash cd models/research/ protoc object_detection/protos/*.proto --python_out=.

Then getting this:

/usr/bin/bash: line 2: protoc: command not found

Could you mention what OS you're using and also the Python path from your system?

as I say "I:" in your logs, I'll assume you're using some windows version? (if not let me know)

All you need to do is install protobuf version for your supported OS by following these instructions here.

Once you've downloaded the file, extract the zip file. If you're using Windows: in the zip folder, you'll have two folders - bin and include. you'll find the protoc.exe in the bin. Copy that to the Scripts folder inside of the Python folder (Where you have Python installed in your system). now add this path to the Path environment Variables.

Hi, it seems your shell recognize 'cd models/research/\nprotoc object_detection/protos/*.proto --python_out=.\n'' as an single command. Did you tried to run these two command separately?

when i will compile protobufs: (tensorflow2) C:\userS\home\documents >cd C:\tensorflow1\models\research (tensorflow2) C:\tensorflow1\models\research > protoc --python_out=. .\object_detection\protos....

'protoc' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

anyone can help me?
