this path is set by the deb package. If you're just installing from pip you don't need to mess with this at all (but you need to do your own systemd setup, or run the worker, ui etc. manually. If you want to have all the systemd stuff set up for you by the package, then install a new version from source, you need to change this to update the systemd scripts.

So I don't think this needs changing but we need to clarify that somehow.

you actually only need the compiler, so you can just go to the releases page and download the relevant compiler package for your OS.

Hi @destijl

When I installed the compiler using sudo apt install protobuf-compiler, (Ubuntu 16.04), it installed v2.5.0. In the next step, cd /grr, pip install -editable . it produced an error "v3.0.0 required", After the installed protobuf-3.0.0, I was able to successfully install GRR. So I submitted the PR. I will verify it once again.

Thanks


Extract the package:
