    php admin/cli/upgrade.php

Google set up:
The instructions on https://docs.moodle.org/30/en/Google_OAuth_2.0_setup and the google page it links to are pretty straight forward, but here is my version.
Go to https://console.developers.google.com/apis/library and sign in to your google account
Create a project - e.g. "Moodle Google" On the left, click on Credentials
Select a project and choose "Moodle Google" Go to the OAuth consent screen tab
Your email address should already be there, enter it if it isn't.
Enter a product name, something like "Moodle Google Drive" Press Save
In the Credentials tab, click Create credentials and choose OAuth client ID
Choose Web application
Change the name if you want, and leave Authorized JavaScript origins empty
For Authorized redirect URIs, put /admin/oauth2callback.php Press Create
This will give you the client ID and secret you need to input on the moodle site
Go back to the API Manager Dashboard and click Enable API
Under Google Apps APIs choose Drive API then click Enable

BEHAT

If you are interested in running the behat(somewhat hardcoded at the moment) tests, your config.php file will require the below settings. Message me and I will provide you with the values.

$CFG->forced_plugin_settings['googledrive']['clientid'] = '<clientid>' ; $CFG->forced_plugin_settings['googledrive']['secret'] = '<secret>'; $CFG->forced_plugin_settings['googledrive']['behatuser'] = '<gmailaccount>'; $CFG->forced_plugin_settings['googledrive']['behatpassword'] = '<gmailpassword>';
