## Generate protobuf definitions
### Linux
For linux there is an easy install script that is also used for the Travis CI
build. Just run the following command (requires `sudo` permissions and the tools
`make`, `go`, `wget` and `unzip` to be installed) from the repository's root
folder:
`./scripts/install_travis_proto.sh`
### MacOS / Unix like systems
1. Download [v.3.4.0](https://github.com/google/protobuf/releases/tag/v3.4.0) of
`protoc` for your operating system and add it to your `PATH`.
For example, if using macOS:

5. Run [`gen_protos.sh`](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/blob/master/lnrpc/gen_protos.sh) to generate new protobuf definitions.
5. Run [`gen_protos.sh`](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/blob/master/lnrpc/gen_protos.sh)
or `make rpc` to generate new protobuf definitions.
## Format .proto files
We use `clang-format` to make sure the `.proto` files are formatted correctly.
You can install the formatter on Ubuntu by running `apt install clang-format`.
Consult [this page](http://releases.llvm.org/download.html) to find binaries
for other operating systems or distributions.
## Makefile commands
The following commands are available with `make`:
* `rpc`: Compile `.proto` files (calls `lnrpc/gen_protos.sh`).
* `rpc-format`: Formats all `.proto` files according to our formatting rules.
Requires `clang-format`, see previous chapter.
* `rpc-check`: Runs both previous commands and makes sure the git work tree is
not dirty. This can be used to check that the `.proto` files are formatted
and compiled properly.
