If you just want to use the library (not contribute to it), check out the official documentation: http://GoogleCloudPlatform.github.io/gcloud-python/
Start by cloning the repository:
$ git clone git://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/gcloud-python.git $ cd gcloud $ python setup.py develop
Chances are you have some dependency problems, if you're on Ubuntu, try installing the pre-compiled packages:
$ sudo apt-get install python-crypto python-openssl libffi-dev
or try installing the development packages
(that have the header files included)
and then pip install the dependencies again:
$ sudo apt-get install python-dev libssl-dev libffi-dev
Make sure you have sphinx installed and:
$ git clone git://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/gcloud-python.git $ pip install sphinx $ cd gcloud-python/docs $ make html
Make sure you have nose installed and:
$ git clone git://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/gcloud-python.git $ pip install unittest2 nose $ nosetests
