TensorFlow Object Detection installation error tensorflow/models/research/

As the title says I have a problem with installing TensorFlow Object Detection.
My system:

lsb_release -a

No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description:    Ubuntu 17.04
Release:    17.04
Codename:   zesty

and achitecture:

uname -i
x86_64

These are the steps I took exactly.
First I verified my python installation:
python -V Python 2.7.13
And my pip installation:
pip -V pip 9.0.1 from /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages (python 2.7)

After that I set the url to latest tensorflow version. 

export TF_BINARY_URL=https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/linu/cpu/tensorflow-1.4.0-cp27-none-linux_x86_64.whl

And then I installed tensorflow.

sudo pip install tensorflow

After this I verified the installation:

python


import tensorflow as tf
hello = tf.constant('Hello, TensorFlow!')
sess = tf.Session()
print(sess.run(hello))

And got Hello, TensorFlow! as response.

Now comes the trouble...

I tried following this guide: https://github.com/tensorflow/models/blob/master/research/object_detection/g3doc/installation.md

Ran:

sudo apt-get install protobuf-compiler python-pil python-lxml
sudo pip install jupyter
sudo pip install matplotlib

And those commands all executed successfully.

The next step gave me my problems though..
The guide does not say what directory tensorflow/models/research/ is (if it's created automatically or should be created by the user and in that case where?)
So I googled a bit and found this one: https://github.com/tensorflow/models/issues/2253 stating that I should just create it... but doing so made the next command executed from that newly created directory

protoc object_detection/protos/*.proto --python_out=.

fail with error object_detection/protos/*.proto: No such file or directory.

I created the directory in tester@tester-vm:~/Documents$ so the full directory path became tester@tester-vm:~/Documents/tensorflow/models/research$.

I'm guessing that I shouldn't create the directory by myself anyway but would love some tips!

Assuming you checked out the models repo (git clone https://github.com/tensorflow/models.git), the tensorflow/models/research/ directory is the research directory in this repo. Basically, this directory: https://github.com/tensorflow/models/tree/master/research
