h2. Portobuf installation instruction Google Protobuf is an open source communication library DE use between client and server. For C++ programs, it is built into the program, so no external library installation is needed. However, for Python/Leginon only, the library will need to be added. A simple way to install this for python use on DE camera computer (Windows) follows: # Download 2.3.0 source zip file as well as the win32.zip binary file # Unzip both packages. Copy the binary into protobuf\src folder # Go into protobuf\python and run "python setup.py install" and that's it. Note: If it attempts to install 0.6c9 version of setuptools and failed to obtain the file, download the ez_setup.py file from setuptools for Windows 7 at https://bitbucket.org/pypa/setuptools/raw/bootstrap/ez_setup.py You can then replace the one in your protobuf-2.3.0/python folder.
