Google SDK

This guide will show you how to set up a Google SDK tools.

It's assuming you're working through the steps from here and have completed the following steps:

Simplified extract from here:

  1. Run the following commands, one at a time:

    sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https ca-certificates gnupg

    echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/cloud.google.gpg] https://packages.cloud.google.com/apt cloud-sdk main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-cloud-sdk.list

    curl https://packages.cloud.google.com/apt/doc/apt-key.gpg | sudo apt-key --keyring /usr/share/keyrings/cloud.google.gpg add -

    sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install google-cloud-sdk -y

  2. Run the following command:

    gcloud init --console-only

    Follow the prompts:

    Welcome! This command will take you through the configuration of gcloud.

...

You must log in to continue. Would you like to log in (Y/n)?  Y

Go to the following link in your browser:

https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth?response_type=code&client_id=32...X4&code_challenge_method=S256
    3. Log into your Google account and approve the access request:

    Copy the verification code.

  3. Continue in the terminal:

    Enter verification code: 4/1AX4XfWjkg8C8r...ujs332G8
You are logged in as: [YOUR_GOOGLE_ACCOUNT].

    You will now be asked to choose a default project. Choose the one you created earlier.

    Pick cloud project to use:
 [1] THE_PROJECT_YOUR_CREATED_FOR_SALTBOX
 [2] Create a new project
Please enter numeric choice or text value (must exactly match list item):  1

Your current project has been set to: [THE_PROJECT_YOUR_CREATED_FOR_SALTBOX].

    You may be asked to choose a default zone/region. If so, you can choose the closest to you, but since we are not creating any location-specific objects, you can skip that.

  4. Run the following command:

    gcloud organizations list

    Your organization ID will be displayed in the table:

    DISPLAY_NAME            ID  DIRECTORY_CUSTOMER_ID
YOUR-DOMAIN   123456789098              XXXXXXXXX
              ^^^ HERE ^^^

    Make a note of that ID; if you're going through the manual rclone instructions you'll need it in the next step.

  5. Google SDK is installed and configured.

If you are going through the manual rclone instructions, continue with the next step
