Setting Up Your Development Environment

To set up your environment for developing on Custom Runtime:

1. Install and initialize the Cloud SDK. If you already have the Cloud SDK installed and initialized, run the gcloud components update command to update to the latest release.

   The Cloud SDK provides you the gcloud command-line tooling for deploying and managing your apps.

   By downloading, you agree to be bound by the Terms that govern use of the Cloud SDK for App Engine.
