| 1 This directory contains the Python command line tool gsutil, which Google |
| 2 has released as open source, to demonstrate the Google Storage API and to |
| 3 provide a tool for manipulating data in the system. |
| 4 |
| 5 Prerequisites: |
| 6 |
| 7 Gsutil requires Python 2.6 or later. |
| 8 |
| 9 To install gsutil take the following steps: |
| 10 |
| 11 1. Pick a place where you want to install the software. You can |
| 12 install the code wherever you prefer; for brevity the instructions below |
| 13 assume you want to install in $HOME/gsutil. |
| 14 |
| 15 2. To install gsutil on Linux/Unix or MacOS, open a shell window, change |
| 16 directories to where you downloaded the gsutil.tar.gz file, and do this: |
| 17 % tar xfz gsutil.tar.gz -C $HOME |
| 18 |
| 19 Then add the following line to your $HOME/.bashrc shell initialization |
| 20 file: |
| 21 export PATH=${PATH}:$HOME/gsutil |
| 22 |
| 23 The next time you start a shell you should be able to run gsutil from |
| 24 the command line. |
| 25 |
| 26 3. To install gsutil on Windows, install cygwin (http://www.cygwin.com/), |
| 27 with at least version 2.6.5 of Python. Once you have that, start a shell |
| 28 and follow the Linux instructions above for unpacking and installing gsutil. |
| 29 |
| 30 4. The first time you try to run gsutil, it will detect that you have no |
| 31 configuration file containing your credentials, interactively prompt you, |
| 32 and create the file. |
| 33 |
| 34 After this you can use the tool. Running gsutil with with no arguments |
| 35 will print a help summary. |
