gcloud command not found - while installing Google Cloud SDK

Question

I am on a mac and am trying to install the Google Cloud SDK  including the gcloud command line utility  using this command in terminal  curl https   sdk cloud google com   bash   as seen at https   cloud google com sdk   It got all the way to the end and finished but even after I restarted my shell  the gcloud command still says it s not found   Why isn t this installation working

User · Answer

When installing the SDK I used this method:

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

When using this method from the original author make sure you have accepted the security preferences in your mac settings to allow apps downloaded from app store and identified developers.

I had a very different story here that turned out to be caused by my Python virtual environments   Somewhere in the middle of running curl https   sdk cloud google com   bash  I was getting error      google-cloud-sdk install sh Welcome to the Google Cloud SDK  pyenv  python2  command not found  The  python2  command exists in these Python versions    2 7 14   miniconda2-latest   solution I ve modified google-cloud-sdk install sh script      if CLOUDSDK PYTHON is empty if   -z   CLOUDSDK PYTHON     then     if python2 exists then plain python may point to a version    2    if  cloudsdk which python2  gt  dev null  then      CLOUDSDK PYTHON python2   if  cloudsdk which python2 7  gt  dev null  then       this is what some OS X versions call their built-in Python     CLOUDSDK PYTHON python2 7   and was able to run the installation successfully   However  I still need to activate my pyenv that has python2 command to run gcloud     why so  If you look at the google-cloud-sdk install sh script  you ll see that it s actually checking for versions of Python in a very brute manner    if   -z   CLOUDSDK PYTHON     then     if python2 exists then plain python may point to a version    2   if  cloudsdk which python2  gt  dev null  then     CLOUDSDK PYTHON python2    However  on my machine python2 doesn t point to Python binary  neither returns null   So the installation crashed

I know this question has been answered  but here are my two cent   After installing gcloud  you need to restart the shell before you able to gcloud command    How you do this  mostly depends on the file you keep your shell configuration  Most files are  bashrc profile   bashrc   zshrc    You can now restart with   source    bashrc profile  You can replace the file to the file you have    Or if you don t care the file you have  on Mac or linux you can restart the shell    exec -l  SHELL

Try doing this command on Ubuntu Linux   sudo   google-cloud-sdk install sh   Close the terminal or open a new window as the log says          Start a new shell for the changes to take effect    Once it is done try installing any package by glcloud command   gcloud components install app-engine-php   It won t show the error

User · Answer

You have to add the command to the path Run  brew info --cask google-cloud-sdk  and find the lines to append to     zshrc The lines to append can be obtained from the output of the previous command  For zsh users  It should be some like these  export CLOUDSDK PYTHON  quot  usr local opt python 3 8 libexec bin python quot  source  quot  usr local Caskroom google-cloud-sdk latest google-cloud-sdk path zsh inc quot  source  quot  usr local Caskroom google-cloud-sdk latest google-cloud-sdk completion zsh inc quot    or choose the proper ones from the command output depending un the Shell you are using

So below is my previous fix for this problem  but it turns out it isn t permanent  It works but every time you restart Terminal  you d have to do the same thing which isn t practical  So that is why I suggest you delete the current google-cloud-sdk directory  and just redo the installation  Be sure  as Zachary has mentioned  to answer yes  Y  to the prompt Modify profile to update your  PATH and enable bash completion   Y n   Here is my old answer  but just redo the installation   I had the same problem  gcloud wasn t working for me  But then  in the same directory as my google-cloud-sdk folder which I had just installed  my home directory   I found this file called test  Inside this test file I found two commands     The next line updates PATH for the Google Cloud SDK  source   path-to-my-home  google-cloud-sdk path bash inc    The next line enables bash completion for gcloud  source   path-to-my-home  google-cloud-sdk completion bash inc    After I ran these two source commands in terminal  gcloud worked
