Google-cloud-python: google-cloud-sdk installation error

Created on 31 Aug 2017  路  9Comments  路  Source: googleapis/google-cloud-python

Hi,

I am trying to install google cloud on a server as an ordinary user. The server has linux (Red Hat 4.4.7-18 x86_64) installed and the default python version on the server is python2.6.

I downloaded python2.7 and set its path in my .bash.rc file, so I get:

programs$ python --version Python 2.7.13

As suggested, I also set the CLOUDSDK_PYTHON variable in my .bash.rc file:

CLOUDSDK_PYTHON="/Volumes/Users/pc/programs/Python-2.7.13/bin"

I opened a new shell, and tried both the curl and the download from tar.gz version of the install script, but get an error:

programs$ curl https://sdk.cloud.google.com | bash

`Welcome to the Google Cloud SDK!
WARNING: Python 2.6.x is no longer officially supported by the Google Cloud SDK
and may not function correctly. Please upgrade to Python 2.7.x

If you have a compatible Python interpreter installed, you can use it by setting
the CLOUDSDK_PYTHON environment variable to point to it.

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Volumes/Users/pc/programs/google-cloud-sdk/bin/bootstrapping/install.py", line 8, in

super(_JsonFormatter, self).__init__()
TypeError: super() argument 1 must be type, not classobj
`

However, when I check the environment variable, I see python 2.7:

programs$ echo $CLOUDSDK_PYTHON /Volumes/Users/pc/programs/Python-2.7.13/bin

What am I doing wrong? Is there a manual/FAQ/guide that I can follow?

many thanks!

The CLOUDSDK_PYTHON value needs to be the filename of the interpreter, rather than the directory containing the interpreter. Also, you should make sure the variable is actually exported in the Unix shell. Try this:

export CLOUDSDK_PYTHON=/Volumes/Users/pc/programs/Python-2.7.13/bin/python

Hi,

Thanks for the reply! I still seem to be getting the same error:

`Welcome to the Google Cloud SDK!
Traceback (most recent call last):

programs$ echo $CLOUDSDK_PYTHON
/Volumes/Users/pc/programs/Python-2.7.13/bin/python`

Could it be some other issue?

It could be. The logic in the installer is a bit complicated. Cloud SDK is actually a separate product and team from the Cloud Client Libraries (which this is), so if we can't figure this out, can you refile this bug at their bug tracker: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/new?component=187143 so that a more expert person can look at it?

One thing that might help is to run the installer with '-x'. I.e. run bash -x /Volumes/Users/pc/programs/google-cloud-sdk/install.sh. This should print out exactly what it thinks the CLOUDSDK_PYTHON variable is, and what it's trying to do with it.

Thanks for taking the time to help!

Here is what I get when I run it with the '-x' option:

`google-cloud-sdk$ bash -x /Volumes/Users/pc/programs/google-cloud-sdk/install.sh

It looks like the variable is not "exported" to the installer process. Can you run the following at the command line?

  • Run echo $SHELL and make sure it prints /bin/bash and not some other shell like csh or zsh
  • Run declare -p CLOUDSDK_PYTHON and make sure the variable is exported. A '-x' will show up if it is exported, otherwise run export CLOUDSDK_PYTHON.

Also, since you're on RedHat, have you tried the prepackaged 'yum' package described here: https://cloud.google.com/sdk/downloads#yum ?

I tried installing from yum, but it said that I don't have root permissions. Here are my other attempts from installing from a tarball, and trying to install using curl:

This repository is not about the "Google Cloud SDK": please report issues for that package in its issue tracker.
