+### Go
+Go protobufs are maintained at [github.com/golang/protobuf](
+http://github.com/golang/protobuf). If not done already, you need to install the

+To install protoc-gen-go, run:
+
+```
+$ go get -u github.com/golang/protobuf/protoc-gen-go
+$ export PATH=$PATH:$(go env GOPATH)/bin
+```
+
+The first command installs `protoc-gen-go` into the `bin` directory in your local `GOPATH`.
+The second command adds the `bin` directory to your `PATH` so that `protoc` can locate the plugin later.
