Answer 1

You need to install protobuf with the command pip install protobuf, protoc is just a tool that uses protobuf

Answer 2

In addition to the other answer, I think you need to install gcpio-tools to actually get protoc executable installed through pip. To run the pip installed one, you have to use python -m grpc.tools.protoc ... as command.

You can also install protoc.exe from Protocol Buffers download page.
