Cloud Launcher

Simplifying the process of launching applications on Google Cloud Platform.

Global setup

Install the Google APIs Client Library for Python.

Per-project setup

This is a one-time setup for each Google Cloud Platform project you want to use with Cloud Launcher.

Modify src/settings.sh to specify a Google Cloud Platform project you have access to that has GCE enabled.
Create a directory to store your credentials and set appropriate permissions:
```
mkdir -m 700 -p "$HOME/cloud/projects/$PROJECT"
```
Open Google Cloud developer console
Go to your Google Cloud Platform project
- Click on your project name
- Click on "APIs & Auth"
- Click on "Credentials"
- Under "OAuth", click on "Create a new Client ID"
  - Choose "Installed application"
  - Application type is "other"
  - Click on "Create Client ID"
- Under the new section "Client ID for native application", click on "Download JSON"
- Save this file as $HOME/cloud/projects/$PROJECT/client_secrets.json
Now you can launch applications! Try one of the examples or look at the app catalog.
