protoc-binary
Downloads Google Protocol Buffers binary wrapped as npm package.
By default, it will download the latest released version.
If an older version is required, add "protoc-binary": "x.x.x" at the root of your package.json.
Install
npm i -D protoc-binary
To force re-check for latest protoc binary releases, simply run npm ci.
Alternatively, you can manually invoke the install script node -e "require('protoc-binary/install')".
If working in both Windows and WSL, you can invoke the install script to download binaries for both,
however when switching OS you should run npm ci.
