[Google Cloud CLI](https://cloud.google.com/sdk/docs/install) enables you to work with [[Google Cloud Platform]] from your command line. ## install Download the installer or paste the provided code into your PowerShell (both do the same thing). If you already have [[Python]] installed, you can uncheck the option to install the bundled Python. Run `gcloud init` to initialize (you will be prompted to log in). ## select a project When you first install Gcloud CLI, it will prompt you to select a project from your list of projects. You can set a different project with ```bash gcloud config set project YOUR_PROJECT_ID ``` Use the universally unique project ID (not necessarily the name you gave it).
