proto3 syntax is not identified as proper syntax only proto2 about protobuf HOT 5 CLOSED

I got this message with the "latest" protoc from here:

https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/docs/downloads

I didn't notice that that version is from 2014. You might want to update it!

Your protoc is out of date. You need to update it.

I see but how can update exactly, I mean I have executed what it's written in the steps and to get everything runs I should execute this command line:

go get -u github.com/golang/protobuf/{proto,protoc-gen-go}

is there any extra steps?

from protobuf.

No, that's only the Go parts. You need to update your protoc from https://github.com/google/protobuf.

from protobuf.

Acknowledged. Following up to try to get that link updated.
