Installation instructions

These instructions are for installing the Google Cloud CLI. For information about installing additional components, such as gcloud CLI commands at the alpha or beta release level, see Managing gcloud CLI components.

Note: If you are behind a proxy or firewall, see the proxy settings page for more information on installation. Linux
  1. Confirm that you have a supported version of Python. The Google Cloud CLI requires Python 3.8 to 3.13. Note that the x86_64 Linux package includes a bundled Python interpreter that will be preferred by default. For information on how to choose and configure your Python interpreter, see gcloud topic startup.
  2. Download one of the following: Note: To determine your Linux Platform, run uname -a at the command line.

    To download the Linux archive file, run the following command:

    curl -O https://dl.google.com/dl/cloudsdk/channels/rapid/downloads/google-cloud-cli-linux-x86_64.tar.gz

    Refer to the table above and replace google-cloud-cli-linux-x86_64.tar.gz with the *.tar.gz package name that applies to your configuration.

  3. To extract the contents of the file to your file system (preferably to your home directory), run the following command:
    tar -xf google-cloud-cli-linux-x86_64.tar.gz
    Optional: To replace an existing installation, remove the existing google-cloud-sdk directory and then extract the archive to the same location.
  4. (Optional) Add the gcloud CLI to your PATH. You can also opt-in to command-completion for your shell and usage statistics collection. Run the installation script (from the root of the folder you extracted in the last step) using the following command:
    ./google-cloud-sdk/install.sh
    This can also be done non-interactively (for example, using a script) and by providing preferences as flags. To view the available flags, run:
    ./google-cloud-sdk/install.sh --help
  5. If you updated your PATH in the previous step, open a new terminal so that the changes take effect.
  6. To initialize the gcloud CLI, run gcloud init:
  7. ./google-cloud-sdk/bin/gcloud init
  8. Optional: Install additional components using the component manager.
Debian/Ubuntu Note: Depending on your setup, you can choose other installation methods: Package contents

The gcloud CLI is available in package format for installation on Debian and Ubuntu systems. This package contains the gcloud, gcloud alpha, gcloud beta, gsutil, and bq commands only. It doesn't include kubectl or the App Engine extensions required to deploy an application using gcloud commands. If you want these components, you must install them separately.

Before you begin

Before you install the gcloud CLI, make sure that your operating system meets the following requirements:

Installation
  1. Import the Google Cloud public key.
  2. Add the gcloud CLI distribution URI as a package source. Note: Make sure you don't have duplicate entries for the cloud-sdk repo in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-cloud-sdk.list.
  3. Update and install the gcloud CLI:
    sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install google-cloud-cli
    For additional apt-get options, such as disabling prompts or dry runs, refer to the apt-get man pages.

    Docker Tip: If installing the gcloud CLI inside a Docker image, use a single RUN step instead:

    RUN echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/cloud.google.gpg] https://packages.cloud.google.com/apt cloud-sdk main" | tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-cloud-sdk.list && curl https://packages.cloud.google.com/apt/doc/apt-key.gpg | gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/cloud.google.gpg && apt-get update -y && apt-get install google-cloud-cli -y
        
    For older base images that do not support the gpg --dearmor command:
    RUN echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/cloud.google.gpg] https://packages.cloud.google.com/apt cloud-sdk main" | tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-cloud-sdk.list && curl https://packages.cloud.google.com/apt/doc/apt-key.gpg | apt-key --keyring /usr/share/keyrings/cloud.google.gpg  add - && apt-get update -y && apt-get install google-cloud-cli -y
          
  4. (Optional) Install any of the following additional components:

    For example, the google-cloud-cli-app-engine-java component can be installed as follows:

    sudo apt-get install google-cloud-cli-app-engine-java
  5. Run gcloud init to get started:
    gcloud init

Downgrading gcloud CLI versions

To revert to a specific version of the gcloud CLI, where VERSION is of the form 123.0.0, run the following command:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install google-cloud-cli=123.0.0-0

The ten most recent releases are always available in the repo.

NOTE: For releases prior to 371.0.0, the package name is google-cloud-sdk

Red Hat/Fedora/CentOS Note: If you're using an instance on Compute Engine, the Google Cloud CLI is installed by default on a number of OS images. See OS details for a full list. Package contents

The gcloud CLI is available in package format for installation on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7, 8, and 9; Fedora 33 and 34; and CentOS 7 and 8 systems. This package contains the gcloud, gcloud alpha, gcloud beta, gsutil, and bq commands only. It doesn't include kubectl or the App Engine extensions required to deploy an application using gcloud commands, which can be installed separately as described later in this section.

Installation
  1. Update DNF with gcloud CLI repository information. The following sample command is for a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9-compatible installation, but make sure that you update the settings as needed for your configuration:
    sudo tee -a /etc/yum.repos.d/google-cloud-sdk.repo << EOM
    [google-cloud-cli]
    name=Google Cloud CLI
    baseurl=https://packages.cloud.google.com/yum/repos/cloud-sdk-el9-x86_64
    enabled=1
    gpgcheck=1
    repo_gpgcheck=0
    gpgkey=https://packages.cloud.google.com/yum/doc/rpm-package-key.gpg
    EOM
  2. If you're installing on Fedora 34 or 35, install libxcrypt-compat.x86_64.
    sudo dnf install libxcrypt-compat.x86_64
  3. Install the gcloud CLI:
    sudo dnf install google-cloud-cli
  4. Note: If you haven't moved to dnf on your system, you can run these commands using yum instead.

    You can also use dnf/yum options, such as disabling prompts or dry runs, with the provided commands.

  5. (Optional) Install any of the following additional components:

    For example, the google-cloud-cli-app-engine-java component can be installed as follows:

    sudo dnf install google-cloud-cli-app-engine-java
  6. Run gcloud init to get started:
    gcloud init

Downgrading gcloud CLI versions

If you'd like to revert to a specific version of the gcloud CLI, where VERSION is of the form 123.0.0, run: sudo dnf downgrade google-cloud-cli-VERSION The ten most recent releases will always be available in the repository. NOTE: For releases prior to 371.0.0, the package name is google-cloud-sdk

macOS
  1. Confirm that you have a supported version of Python:
  2. Download one of the following: Note: To determine your machine hardware name, run uname -m from a command line.
  3. Extract the archive to any location on your file system (preferably your Home directory). On macOS, this can be achieved by opening the downloaded .tar.gz archive file in the preferred location. Or run the following command:
    tar -xf google-cloud-cli-darwin-arm.tar.gz

    Optional: To replace an existing installation, remove the existing google-cloud-sdk directory and then extract the archive to the same location.

  4. Run the installation script (from the root of the folder you extracted in the last step) using the following command:
    ./google-cloud-sdk/install.sh

    The script will prompt to install Python 3.12 and certain recommended modules.

    The install can also be done non-interactively (for example, using a script) by providing preferences as flags. To describe the available flags, run:
    ./google-cloud-sdk/install.sh --help
    To run the install script with screen reader mode on:
    ./google-cloud-sdk/install.sh --screen-reader=true
    Optional:
  5. If you updated your PATH in the previous step, open a new terminal so that the changes take effect.
  6. To initialize the gcloud CLI, run gcloud init:
  7. ./google-cloud-sdk/bin/gcloud init
  8. Optional. Install additional components using the component manager.
Windows
    The Google Cloud CLI works on Windows 8.1 and later and Windows Server 2012 and later.
  1. Download the Google Cloud CLI 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
        
  2. Launch the installer and follow the prompts. The installer is signed by Google LLC.

    If you're using a screen reader, check the Turn on screen reader mode checkbox. This option configures gcloud to use status trackers instead of unicode spinners, display progress as a percentage, and flatten tables. For more information, see the Accessibility features guide.

  3. Google Cloud CLI requires Python; supported versions are Python 3.8 to 3.13. By default, the Windows version of Google Cloud CLI comes bundled with Python 3. To use Google Cloud CLI your operating system must be able to run a supported version of Python.

    The installer installs all necessary dependencies, including the needed Python version. While Google Cloud CLI installs and manages Python 3 by default, you can use an existing Python installation if necessary by unchecking the option to Install Bundled Python. See gcloud topic startup to learn how to use an existing Python installation.

  4. After installation is complete, the installer gives you the option to create Start Menu and Desktop shortcuts, start the Google Cloud CLI shell, and configure the gcloud CLI. Make sure that you leave the options to start the shell and configure your installation selected. The installer starts a terminal window and runs the gcloud init command.

  5. The default installation doesn't include the App Engine extensions required to deploy an application using gcloud commands. These components can be installed using the gcloud CLI component manager.
Troubleshooting tips: Other installation options

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

Manage an installation

After you have installed the gcloud CLI, 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 the gcloud CLI.

Note: If you used

apt-get

or

yum

to install the gcloud CLI, you must use use

apt-get

or

yum

to update or remove components, not

gcloud components

.

Earlier versions of the gcloud CLI

If you need a different version of the gcloud CLI, install the current version using the instructions that appear earlier on this page and then log in. After you are logged in, you can download earlier releases. To see the versions sorted by date, be sure to enable Sort and filter and click the Created column.
