make build installs dependencies not compatible with Python2

[crazyscientist]

Hi there,

after checking out the latest commit from the master branch I followed the instructions and called make build. The installation finishes successfully, but one of the dependencies relies on protobuf, which gets installed in version 3.18.0, which has dropped Python2 support.

This results in the service not being able to run due to invalid syntax:

Downgrading to protobuf < 3.18 seems to be a good workaround.
