Installing gcloud on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

gcloud_docker_setup.md

Installing it using cURL

$ curl https://sdk.cloud.google.com | bash

When the first time you run the above statement, it might be that you'll get the following error if python2 is not installed in your system.

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

No need to panic, just create a python2.7 environment

$ conda create --name gcloud python=2.7

It would install the python2 environment in the system @ /home/<username>/miniconda//envs/gcloud/bin/python2.7.

Add the path for CLOUDSDK_PYTHON

$ vim .bashrc

Edit the file to add

CLOUDSDK_PYTHON="/home/<username>/miniconda//envs/gcloud/bin/python2.7"
$ source .bashrc

Run the cURL command again

$ curl https://sdk.cloud.google.com | bash
