Google Cloud CLI on CentOS 9 |
To install the Google Cloud CLI on CentOS 9, you first need to add the official Google Cloud SDK repository to your system. This repository contains the necessary packages for the CLI installation.
Open a terminal window.
Run the following command to add the repository:
sudo tee -a /etc/yum.repos.d/google-cloud-sdk.repo << EOM
[google-cloud-cli]
name=Google Cloud CLI
baseurl=https://packages.cloud.google.com/yum/repos/cloud-sdk-el9-x86_64
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
repo_gpgcheck=0
gpgkey=https://packages.cloud.google.com/yum/doc/rpm-package-key.gpg
EOM
This command appends the repository information to the google-cloud-sdk.repo file, allowing dnf to fetch packages from Google’s repository.
With the repository added, you can now install the Google Cloud CLI using the dnf package manager. Update your package list to ensure you have the latest repository information:
sudo dnf update -y
Install the Google Cloud CLI package:
sudo dnf install google-cloud-cli
