@higis927 Thanks for your interest in VisualDL. 'protoc' is installed automatically by VisualDL. May I know if you use Anaconda or not? Anaconda is suggested to prevent environment conflicts.

@daming-lu I am installing it on Linux docker.
On Mac os, I install it by Anancoda, but the issue is documented as following:
#439

@higis927 Sorry for the trouble. It took us a while to debug this. The Cmake version is too new for the protobuf build script. Try downgrading the cmake to version 3.9. and that should resolve the issue for you.

The team will also try to update the protobuf build script asap to be compatible with latest cmake.

VisualDL 2.0 use pure python 3 to build, so there is no C++ compile issues from now on, easy to install with high compatibility, so issues closed.
