How do I get gcloud init to run on PowerShell? What issue do I have here?

CodePudding user response：

Please see the below requirement:

Cloud SDK requires Python; supported versions are Python 3 (3.5 to 3.9). By default, the Windows version of Cloud SDK comes bundled with Python 3. To use Cloud SDK, your operating system must be able to run a supported version of Python.

In order to install python 3.9 on windows, just use this installer https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.9.13/python-3.9.13-amd64.exe.

Be sure to close and reopen the powershell prompt after installation in order to load the new PATH where python executable is added.
