Here is the link to the Protocol Buffers / Protobuf Github
https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf

Should I follow the C++ installation instructions?
There is no pre-built binary for Mac M1 ARM architecture.

"Protocol Compiler Installation
The protocol compiler is written in C++. If you are using C++, please follow the C++ Installation Instructions to install protoc along with the C++ runtime.
For non-C++ users, the simplest way to install the protocol compiler is to download a pre-built binary from our release page:

https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf/releases

In the downloads section of each release, you can find pre-built binaries in zip packages: protoc-$VERSION-$PLATFORM.zip. It contains the protoc binary as well as a set of standard .proto files distributed along with protobuf."

    At the very beginning of the release page you can read [General > Support M1 (#8557)](https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf/pull/8557). – YSC Jul 02 '21 at 15:58
  • Thank you. They estimate about 4 months before a binary is available for Mac M1 ARM. – Stephen Stilwell Jul 02 '21 at 17:07

As of July 2nd, the estimate delivery time for the Mac M1 ARM binary is 4 months.

For protobuf to work on Mac with the M1 chip first you will need to enable Rosseta with the following command on the terminal

softwareupdate --install-rosetta

This will allow you to run your Mac on Intel compatibility mode and then from there you can install the latest protobuf for your respective programming language.
