Installing Cloud SDK on both Linux and macOS follows the steps listed here. Let's install Cloud SDK under your home directory:
- Open the Terminal.
- Type the following command to download and run the Cloud SDK installer:
$ curl https://sdk.cloud.google.com | bash
- It asks for your desired installation directory. By default, it is under your home directory. So, type return:
Installation directory (this will create a google-cloud-sdk subdirectory) (/Users/saito):
- It asks whether to send user usage data; it will send some information when it crashes. Based on your privacy policy, if don't wish to send any data to Google, choose n. Otherwise choose Y to improve their quality:
Do you want to help improve the Google Cloud SDK (Y/n)? n
- It asks whether to update .bash_profile by adding the gcloud command to your command search path; type y to proceed:
Modify profile to update your $PATH and enable shell command
completion?
Do you want to continue (Y/n)? y
The Google Cloud SDK installer will now prompt you to update an rc
file to bring the Google Cloud CLIs into your environment.
Enter a path to an rc file to update, or leave blank to use
[/Users/saito/.bash_profile]:
- Open another Terminal or type exec -l $SHELL to refresh your command search path:
//reload .bash_profile
$ exec -l $SHELL
//check gcloud command is in your search path
$ which gcloud
/Users/saito/google-cloud-sdk/bin/gcloud
- Type gcloud info to check whether you can see the Cloud SDK version:
$ gcloud info
