Cloud SDK provides downloadable, versioned archives for each release. Each
versioned archive contains a self-contained installation of Cloud SDK in a
directory named google-cloud-sdk
that can be copied to any location on your
file system.
Best uses for installing from versioned archives
Versioned archives are designed for non-interactive installation of specific versions of Cloud SDK and are useful when:
You require a specific version of Cloud SDK. For example:
- You are scripting with the gcloud CLI or one of the other Cloud SDK components and want to make sure that your scripts don't break as the result of a Cloud SDK update.
- You are using Cloud SDK as part of a CI (continuous integration) process or production system where you want to control your dependencies in order to ensure compatibility between parts of the system.
- You are performing automated deployments of Cloud SDK to many machines that must be in sync with each other.
- You are behind a proxy or firewall that requires additional configuration to be able to access the internet.
You don't want to perform an interactive installation.

Optional. If you'd like to add Cloud SDK tools to your path, run the install script. This should be run from the root of the folder you extracted above. Running this script will also generate instructions to enable command completion in your
bash
shell (Linux and macOS only) and enable usage reporting.On Linux or macOS:
./google-cloud-sdk/install.sh
To run the install script with screen reader mode turned on:
./google-cloud-sdk/install.sh --screen-reader=true
On Windows:
.\google-cloud-sdk\install.bat
Run
install.sh --help
orinstall.bat --help
for a list of flags you can pass to this script, including those that can run the installation non-interactively.Run gcloud init to initialize the SDK.
For Linux or macOS:
./google-cloud-sdk/bin/gcloud init
For Windows:
.\google-cloud-sdk\bin\gcloud init
