ERROR: gcloud failed to load: No module named 'googlecloudsdk.third_party.apis.binaryauthorization.v1alpha2.binaryauthorization_v1alpha2_messages'

I am trying to install gcloud CLI on macOS 64-bit(x86_64) by following these instructions: https://cloud.google.com/sdk/docs/install

When I run ./google-cloud-sdk/install.sh I get this error:

Welcome to the Google Cloud CLI!

./google-cloud-sdk/bin/gcloud init shows a similar error:

    gcloud_main = _import_gcloud_main()

This usually indicates corruption in your gcloud installation or problems with your Python interpreter.

Please verify that the following is the path to a working Python 2.7 or 3.5+ executable:
    /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/python3

If it is not, please set the CLOUDSDK_PYTHON environment variable to point to a working Python 2.7 or 3.5+ executable.

If you are still experiencing problems, please reinstall the Cloud SDK using the instructions here:
    https://cloud.google.com/sdk/

Python executable seems to be where it should be, so I don't think that's the problem. I can see it when I run ls /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/.

python3 -V shows Python 3.8.9.

What can I do to install gcloud CLI successfully?

Solution

  • I used this command instead, and it worked for me:

    curl https://sdk.cloud.google.com | bash
