Install gcloud SDK on Windows⚑

1. Download the Cloud SDK installer.

   Alternatively, open a PowerShell terminal and run the following PowerShell commands.

(New\-Object Net.WebClient).DownloadFile("https://dl.google.com/dl/cloudsdk/channels/rapid/GoogleCloudSDKInstaller.exe", "$env:Temp\\GoogleCloudSDKInstaller.exe")

& $env:Temp\\GoogleCloudSDKInstaller.exe 

1. Launch the installer and follow the prompts. The installer is signed by Google LLC.

   If you'd like to enable screen reader mode, select the Turn on screen reader mode option for a more streamlined screen reader experience. To read more about the Cloud SDK screen reader experience, refer to the Accessibility features guide.

   

2. Cloud SDK requires Python; supported versions are Python 3 (preferred, 3.5 to 3.8) and Python 2 (2.7.9 or higher).

   The installer will install all necessary dependencies, including the needed Python version. While Cloud SDK currently uses Python 3 by default, you can use an existing Python installation if necessary by unchecking the option to Install Bundled Python.

3. After installation has completed, the installer presents several options:

   

   Make sure that the following are selected:

   • Start Google Cloud SDK Shell
   • Run gcloud init

   The installer starts a terminal window and runs the gcloud init command.

4. The default installation does not include the App Engine extensions required to deploy an application using gcloud commands. These components can be installed using the Cloud SDK component manager.

Troubleshooting tips:

• If the Cloud SDK fails to run after installing version 274.0.0, please refer to this tracking bug for the latest workarounds.
• If your installation is unsuccessful due to the find command not being recognized, ensure your PATH environment variable is set to include the folder containing find. Usually, this is C:\WINDOWS\system32;.
• If you have just uninstalled Cloud SDK, you will need to reboot your system before installing Cloud SDK again.

Optional: Install the latest Google Cloud Client Libraries⚑

You can download Cloud Client Libraries for supported languages.

Other installation options⚑

Depending on your development needs, instead of the recommended installation, you can use an alternative method of installing Cloud SDK:

• Using Cloud SDK with scripts or Continuous Integration/Deployment? Download a versioned archive for a non-interactive installation of a specific version of Cloud SDK.
• Need to run Cloud SDK as a Docker image? Use the Cloud SDK Docker image for the latest release (or specific version) of Cloud SDK.
• Running Ubuntu and prefer automatic updates? Use a snap package to install the Cloud SDK.
• For Windows and macOS interactive installations, and all other use cases, run the interactive installer to install the latest release of Cloud SDK.

What's in the box?⚑

All of the installation methods above install the default Cloud SDK components, which include gcloud, gsutil and bq command-line tools.

You can install additional components using the gcloud components install command, or by installing the appropriate deb or RPM packages.

Managing an installation⚑

After you have installed Cloud SDK, you can use commands in the gcloud components command group to manage your installation. This includes viewing installed components, adding and removing components, and upgrading to a new version (or downgrading to a specific version) of Cloud SDK.

Note: Updating and removing components using gcloud components is disabled if you installed Cloud SDK using apt-get or yum. To manage the Cloud SDK in this case, continue using the package management tool used during installation.

Older versions of Cloud SDK⚑

If you'd need an older version of Cloud SDK to revert to, you can find all previous releases available to download from this archive.
