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.
