This directory contains the Python command line tool gsutil, which Google
|
|
has released as open source, to demonstrate the Google Storage API and to
|
|
provide a tool for manipulating data in the system.
|
|
|
|
Prerequisites:
|
|
|
|
Gsutil requires Python 2.6 or later.
|
|
|
|
To install gsutil take the following steps:
|
|
|
|
1. Pick a place where you want to install the software. You can
|
|
install the code wherever you prefer; for brevity the instructions below
|
|
assume you want to install in $HOME/gsutil.
|
|
|
|
2. To install gsutil on Linux/Unix or MacOS, open a shell window, change
|
|
directories to where you downloaded the gsutil.tar.gz file, and do this:
|
|
% tar xfz gsutil.tar.gz -C $HOME
|
|
|
|
Then add the following line to your $HOME/.bashrc shell initialization
|
|
file:
|
|
export PATH=${PATH}:$HOME/gsutil
|
|
|
|
The next time you start a shell you should be able to run gsutil from
|
|
the command line.
|
|
|
|
3. To install gsutil on Windows, install cygwin (http://www.cygwin.com/),
|
|
with at least version 2.6.5 of Python. Once you have that, start a shell
|
|
and follow the Linux instructions above for unpacking and installing gsutil.
|
|
|
|
4. The first time you try to run gsutil, it will detect that you have no
|
|
configuration file containing your credentials, interactively prompt you,
|
|
and create the file.
|
|
|
|
After this you can use the tool. Running gsutil with with no arguments
|
|
will print a help summary.
|
|
|
