Installing with apt-get (Debian and Ubuntu only)

Cloud SDK 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 does not 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 as described later in this section.

You can install the Cloud SDK from a Debian/Ubuntu package for all official Ubuntu releases that have not reached end of life, and Debian stable releases from Wheezy forward.

Note: If you are using an instance on Google Compute Engine, Cloud SDK is installed by default. You can still manually install Cloud SDK using the instructions below.

Add the Cloud SDK distribution URI as a package source:
```
echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/cloud.google.gpg] https://packages.cloud.google.com/apt cloud-sdk main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-cloud-sdk.list
```
Note: Make sure you have apt-transport-https installed:
```
sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https ca-certificates gnupg
```
Troubleshooting Tip: If your distribution does not support the signed-by option run this command instead,
echo "deb https://packages.cloud.google.com/apt cloud-sdk main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-cloud-sdk.list

Troubleshooting Tip: Make sure you do not have duplicate entries for the cloud-sdk repo.
Import the Google Cloud public key:
```
curl https://packages.cloud.google.com/apt/doc/apt-key.gpg | sudo apt-key --keyring /usr/share/keyrings/cloud.google.gpg add -
```
Troubleshooting Tip: If you are unable to get latest updates due to an expired key, obtain the latest apt-get.gpg key file.

Troubleshooting Tip: If your distribution's apt-key command does not support the --keyring argument run this command instead,

curl https://packages.cloud.google.com/apt/doc/apt-key.gpg | sudo apt-key add -
Update and install the Cloud SDK:
```
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install google-cloud-sdk
```
Note: For additional apt-get options, such as disabling prompts or dry runs, refer to the apt-get man pages.
Optionally, install any of these additional components:
- google-cloud-sdk-app-engine-python
- google-cloud-sdk-app-engine-python-extras
- google-cloud-sdk-app-engine-java
- google-cloud-sdk-app-engine-go
- google-cloud-sdk-bigtable-emulator
- google-cloud-sdk-cbt
- google-cloud-sdk-cloud-build-local
- google-cloud-sdk-datalab
- google-cloud-sdk-datastore-emulator
- google-cloud-sdk-firestore-emulator
- google-cloud-sdk-pubsub-emulator
- kubectl
For example, the google-cloud-sdk-app-engine-java component can be installed as follows:
```
sudo apt-get install google-cloud-sdk-app-engine-java
```
Run gcloud init to get started:
```
gcloud init
```

Downgrading Cloud SDK versions

If you'd like to revert to a specific version of Cloud SDK, where VERSION is of the form 123.0.0, run:

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