Toolchain & Configuration

First, install the Cap'n Proto tools.

Then, run the following commands to install the compiler plugin for the Go language:

$ go install capnproto.org/go/capnp/v3/capnpc-go@latest  # install go compiler plugin
$ GO111MODULE=off go get -u capnproto.org/go/capnp/v3/   # install go-capnproto to $GOPATH

Lastly, ensure $GOPATH/bin has been added to your shell's $PATH variable.

If you get stuck at any point, please ask us for help!

Once you have installed capnp and the Go plugin, you should write and compile your first schema.
