4. Set up authentication with a service account so you can access the API from your local workstation.

5. Install the client library:

    npm install --save @google-cloud/pubsub
   

6. Try an example:

// Imports the Google Cloud client library
const {PubSub} = require('@google-cloud/pubsub');

async function quickstart(
  projectId = 'your-project-id', // Your Google Cloud Platform project ID
  topicName = 'my-topic' // Name for the new topic to create
) {
  // Instantiates a client
  const pubsub = new PubSub({projectId});

  // Creates the new topic
  const [topic] = await pubsub.createTopic(topicName);
  console.log(`Topic ${topic.name} created.`);
}
