     Common Lisp code for a given `.proto` file is generated by a plug-in for
     `protoc`, the protocol buffer compiler. The plug-in is written in C++ and
     requires the full version of Google's protocol buffer code to be installed

-    Download and build Google protobuf. Rough instructions are included here for

     Make sure the `protoc` binary is on your `PATH`.
 
 2.  Build the Lisp `protoc` plugin
 
+    We use CMake to install the Lisp protoc plugin.

     ```shell
     $ cd cl-protobufs/protoc
-    $ PROTOC_ROOT=/usr/local make     # value of --prefix, above
-    $ sudo cp protoc-gen-cl-pb /usr/local/bin/
+    $ cmake . -DCMAKE_CXX_STANDARD=17
+    $ cmake --build . --target install --parallel 16
     ```
 
     Make sure the installation directory is on your `PATH`.
