Virtual environment

Setting up the virtual environment

python3 -m venv venv

Using the virtual environment

To activate on UNIX-based systems: source venv/bin/activate. To deactivate: deactivate.

Requirements

pip install -r requirements.txt

Authentication

Authentication is typically done through Application Default Credentials which means you do not have to change the code to authenticate as long as your environment has credentials. You have a few options for setting up authentication:

Running locally

Use the Google Cloud SDK gcloud auth application-default login.

Running on App Engine or Compute Engine

Credentials are already set-up. However, you may need to configure your Compute Engine instance with additional scopes

Environment variable

You can create a Service Account key file. This file can be used to authenticate to Google Cloud Platform services from any environment. To use the file, set the GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS environment variable to the path to the key file, for example:

export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS=/path/to/service_account.json

Running the project

python src/run.py
