hey sorry for the long delay.
Can you try installing the package which contains protoc
on your system. (From a quick search the package seems to be named protobuf-compiler
).
If that works it would be great if you could update me so I can fix the documentation accordingly
Success! I installed the protobuf-compiler
package ("sudo apt install protobuf-compiler"
) and then re-ran cargo install signal-backup-decode
- this time it installed correctly. I have also now successfully decoded my signal-backup file into a sqlite database and various directories of attachments and avatars etc. Thank you - I'm very grateful to you for getting my data out of signal.
Great to hear it worked. I also updated the README to now contain instructions for protoc.
Hi. I'm trying to install signal-backup-decode on my up-to-date debian stretch box. When I run:
cargo install signal-backup-decode
I get:
Unfortunately I know nothing about rust. If I can give you more info, please let me know.
PS: the crates page https://crates.io/crates/signal-backup-decode has a typo: the install command should be:
cargo install signal-backup-decode
notcargo install signal-backup-decoder
