How To Install Google Cloud GCP Command Line Utility gcloud ?



This post explains How To Install Google Cloud GCP Command Line Utility gcloud.

  • Google provides Cloud SDK Command-line interface for Google Cloud Platform products and services.
  • Cloud SDK is a set of tools for Google Cloud Platform - it contains gcloud, gsutil etc. command-line tools.
  • We can use those command-line tools to access Compute Engine, Cloud Storage etc.
We will explore Step by Step how to set up gcloud. (P.S. - Once you setup gcloud, you can go through our other post which lists & explains some of the most commonly used gcloud commands . This is the post link - GCP Google Cloud CLI – gcloud commands)  

Objective


  • To set-up and install Cloud SDK.
 

Prerequisites


 

Step 1 - Download the Cloud SDK Installer


  • Download the SDK Installer from below link based on your Desktop\Laptop OS
https://cloud.google.com/sdk/docs/downloads-interactive#windows The Advantage of using the installer approach is - it downloads Cloud SDK components , installs them , performs additional setup tasks like adding Cloud SDK components to your PATH , enabling command completion in your shell etc.

  • It will be .zip file
 

Step 2 - Unzip and Install the Cloud SDK


  • Unzip the downloaded installer .
  • The unzipped folder contains install.bat file. Launch\click the .bat file and installation will start.
  • Below is the Log . Note the Highlighted(Red) option. Select "Y" as it will add the set-ups details to Windows PATH.
 


Welcome to the Google Cloud SDK!

This will install all the core command line tools necessary for working with
the Google Cloud Platform.

Update done!

**Update %PATH% to include Cloud SDK binaries? (Y/n)? y**

The installer is unable to automatically update your system PATH. Please add
C:\\Users\\S\\Downloads\\google-cloud-sdk\\google-cloud-sdk\\bin
to your system PATH to enable easy use of the Cloud SDK Command Line Tools.


For more information on how to get started, please visit:
https://cloud.google.com/sdk/docs/quickstarts


Google Cloud SDK installer will now exit.
Press any key to continue . . .

 

  • Please note sometimes the installer is unable to add to PATH. That's why I showed the Log to clarify that. In such case, you need to manually add the BIN bath inside the unzipped google Sdk folder (e.g. C:\google-cloud-sdk\bin) to the environment variables.
 

Step 3 - Verify the Installation


  • To verify use below Google cloud utility command -

C:\\Users\\S> **gcloud version**
Google Cloud SDK 267.0.0
bq 2.0.49
core 2019.10.15
gsutil 4.44

As we see gcloud is set up and working. In later Posts , we will see How to Connect Google Cloud VMs directly from Windows command line using Gcloud .
