The protocol compiler for compiling .proto files and the corresponding protobuf runtime for your preferred programming language need to be installed.

From the developer:

Protocol Buffers are Google's language-neutral, platform-neutral, extensible mechanism for serializing structured data. To install protobuf, you need to install the protocol compiler (used to compile .proto files) and the protobuf runtime for your chosen programming language.
