I installed the cloud datalab component by running gcloud components install datalab
However, I keep getting the following error from my terminal when attempting to create a datalab instance:
-bash: datalab: command not found
When I run gcloud components list, I get that I have correctly installed datalab as evidenced in the image below:
Any idea what could be wrong?
Based on the output of gcloud components list you have already installed the datalab command line tool. The binary should be present at this location: $GOGOLE_CLOUD_SDK_INSTALL_DIR/bin/datalab
If running just datalab still does not invoke this binary, then you do not have the Cloud SDK bin directory in your $PATH environment variable.
To confirm this theory, verify if you are able to run datalab by providing its full path.
Example (assuming your Cloud SDK is installed at ~/google-cloud-sdk):
~/google-cloud-sdk/bin/datalab
I encountered the same issue, and I was able to fix the issue by reinstalling Google Cloud SDK following this instruction and try again.
Make sure to delete the original gcloud command before reinstalling because it may be installed in a different path.
I use Debian, and gcloud command was originally under /usr/local/bin/gcloud, which had that issue. (I don't remember how I installed the command.) When I followed the instruction, it was installed at /usr/bin/gcloud and it worked fine, though it instructed me to run:
$ sudo apt-get install google-cloud-sdk-datalab
instead of:
$ gcloud components install datalab
I just had this problem and found the following code in my bash profile was pointing to the wrong installation folder (presumably after I decided to update or re-install in a different way than I had done originally), changing to the correct location (find by using gcloud info) fixed it:
\# The next line updates PATH for the Google Cloud SDK.
if [ -f '/usr/local/Caskroom/google-cloud-sdk/latest/google-cloud-sdk/path.bash.inc' ]; then source '/usr/local/Caskroom/google-cloud-sdk/latest/google-cloud-sdk/path.bash.inc'; fi
\# The next line enables shell command completion for gcloud.
if [ -f '/usr/local/Caskroom/google-cloud-sdk/latest/google-cloud-sdk/completion.bash.inc' ]; then source '/usr/local/Caskroom/google-cloud-sdk/latest/google-cloud-sdk/completion.bash.inc'; fi
