Linux Debian Google cloud VM instance

Question

I have been trying to mount a google storage bucket on one of my instances. I followed the directions here. This is the error I get.

E: Unable to locate package gcsfuse E: Unable to locate package

What am I doing wrong ? It's a debian set up 32 GB 4 CPUs.

Looks like either `gcsfuse` was not properly installed. When / at which step of the `gcsfuse` install did this error occur exactly? When running `sudo apt-get install gcsfuse` I am assuming? — David B., Mar 15 '17 at 11:22

gcsfuse is a tool that needs to be installed on the actual VM. According to the documentation (for Debian jessie):

1 - Add the gcsfuse distribution URL as a package source and import its public key:
export GCSFUSE_REPO=gcsfuse-`lsb_release -c -s`
echo "deb http://packages.cloud.google.com/apt $GCSFUSE_REPO main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/gcsfuse.list
curl https://packages.cloud.google.com/apt/doc/apt-key.gpg | sudo apt-key add -
2 - Update the list of packages available and install gcsfuse.
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gcsfuse
