I installed the gcloud CLI as instructed: https://cloud.google.com/sdk/docs/install#deb
In nutshell, I did the following commands:
1) sudo apt-get update
2) sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https ca-certificates gnupg curl sudo
3) echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/cloud.google.gpg] https://packages.cloud.google.com/apt cloud-sdk main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-cloud-sdk.list
4) curl https://packages.cloud.google.com/apt/doc/apt-key.gpg | sudo apt-key --keyring /usr/share/keyrings/cloud.google.gpg add -
5) sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install google-cloud-cli
6) gcloud init (account previously configured)
And after all this I ran the command to install Cloud SQL Proxy:
gcloud components install cloud_sql_proxy
And in the console I get the following error: ERROR: (gcloud.components.install) The cloud_sql_proxy component(s) is unavailable through the packaging system you are currently using. Please consider using a separate installation of the Google Cloud CLI created through the default mechanism.
Unfortunately I don't work too much on ubuntu and have no idea why I get this error and how I can fix it.
Here is the system version: Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS
Presently, we don't ship the Cloud SQL Proxy as part of a Debian package.
Instead, we recommend downloading it directly from the storage bucket we publish releases to.
