How to install google cloud sdk in termux and run cloud shell interactively.

Google-sdk-termux.md

Now Google cloud sdk support python3.9 as well. Lets start.

Without any surprise,use your copy-paste skills to fire following script into your innocent terminal.

pkg install python3 openssh
curl -o sdk.sh sdk.cloud.google.com
chmod +x sdk.sh
./sdk.sh --install-dir=$PREFIX

Previous version with python2

python 2.7 requires because gcloud does't support python 3.9

pkg install python2 openssh

export CLOUDSDK_PYTHON='python2.7'
echo "export CLOUDSDK_PYTHON='python2.7'" >> ~/.bashrc
echo "export PATH=$PATH:$PREFIX/google-cloud-sdk/bin"
curl -o sdk.sh sdk.cloud.google.com
chmod +x sdk.sh
./sdk.sh --install-dir=$PREFIX

Now just attend few questions and authenticate yourself. reload shell so that all Commmand reloads in your PATH

gcloud auth login

copy link and paste in your default browser, Choose account and copy code then fill that in terminal. now done. Let's do ssh in cloud shell.

gcloud cloud-shell ssh

I'm seeing this which not found error even though it works just fine in the following request. It seems like whichever environment the Gcloud sdk install is happening in is outside the usual prompt. Tried prefixing a . with no success as well. Any thoughts?

Edit: Later realised how silly this issue is, installing which resolves it 😅

pkg install -y which

amazing! finally i g rid from absolutelly nightmare cloud browser based cli and also app based cli. now i can control my cloud shell from termux CLI!!!
