How to install google protoc by placing binary somwhere in PATH
I downloaded the protoc zip file here :
https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf/releases/download/v3.4.0/protoc-3.4.0-linux-x86_64.zip (its a <2MB file)
The installation instructions say that I need to place the binary somewhere in my PATH
So I edited my ~/.bashrc file and added this :
export PATH=$PATH:/home/tanmay/Downloads/protoc-3.4.0-linux-x86_64/bin/
But still protoc version is reported as 2.4 and not 3.4. What am I doing wrong?
16.04 bashrc

I removed the version installed by apt-get and it worked. It picked up the path via bashrc

PATH is searched in order, so if you want the version in your Downloads directory to take precedence over other versions you must place the new path first:
export PATH="/home/tanmay/Downloads/protoc-3.4.0-linux-x86_64/bin/:$PATH"

PATH is searched in order, so if you want the version in your Downloads directory to take precedence over other versions you must place the new path first:
export PATH="/home/tanmay/Downloads/protoc-3.4.0-linux-x86_64/bin/:$PATH"
