# Google Cloud initialisation

For initialization on Google Cloud, you need to have an account on Google Cloud Platform and create access identifiers. 

* [How can I create an account on Google Cloud Platform? ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5hwU0jD0qc)
* [How to create access identifiers on Google CLoud Platform ?](https://developers.google.com/workspace/guides/create-credentials)

Then, initialise EasyEnvironment as follows:

```python
from easyenvi import EasyEnvironment

envi = EasyEnvironment(
  gcloud_project_id="your-project-id",
  gcloud_credential_path="path/to/credentials.json",
  GCS_path="gs://your-bucket-name/" # Optional
                  )
```

* **gcloud\_project\_id - *****str***\
  GCP project identifier
* **gcloud\_credential\_path - *****str***\
  path to a .json access credentials
* **GCS\_path - *****str***\
  path to a GCS bucket from which to interact
