Answer 1

I have Ubuntu 18.04.02 LTS and installed protoc using

sudo apt install protobuf-compiler

I have my GOPATH and GOBIN set correctly, but still when I did a protoc --go_out=. I was getting

protoc-gen-go: program not found or is not executable
--go_out: protoc-gen-go: Plugin failed with status code 1.

After reading bunch of places, was able to find that doing

go get -u github.com/golang/protobuf/protoc-gen-go

was able to fix the issue. Hope this helps someone out there.
