macOS

1. You can get a C++ compiler by installingXcode's command-line tools.

   xcode-select--install

2. After the installation is complete, verify that your compiler isavailable asc++:

   c++--version

Windows

1. To install a C++ compiler in a Windows environment, download theMicrosoft's "Visual Studio" from theVisual Studio website.This will download a full IDE, including an editor, debugger and buildsystems.

2. To access your C++ compiler follow the C++ section in Visual Studio'sGetting Started guide.

Linux

Most (if not all) Linux distributions includeGCC as their primary C++ compiler. Many Linux distributions also includeCLang as an alternative C++ compiler. The C++ client libraries support both.

1. To install C++ in a Linux environment, install the appropriate packagesfor your distribution. For Debian and Ubuntu, this package isg++.

   Install these packages using the following commands:

   sudoaptupdatesudoaptinstallg++

2. After the installations are complete, verify that you haveg++installed:

   g++--version

CMake with vcpkg

1. Your operating system may provide packages forCMake installed. If it does not, install it from theCMake download page

2. To install vcpkg, seeGet Started with vcpkg

CMake with Conda

1. Your operating system may provide packages forCMake installed. If it does not, install it from theCMake download page

2. To install Conda, see theInstallation section in Conda's User Guide.

Bazel

1. To install Bazel, seeInstalling Bazel

If you need to use a different build system or package manager the C++ clientlibraries repository include instructions tobuild from source.

CMake with vcpkg

1. Addgoogle-cloud-cpp as dependency to yourvcpkg.json file:

   {"name":"setup-cpp-vcpkg","version-string":"unversioned","description":"Setting up C++ for Google Cloud with CMake and vcpkg","dependencies":[{"name":"google-cloud-cpp","default-features":false,"features":["storage"]}]}

2. Edit yourCMakeLists.txt file to require the library

   find_package(google_cloud_cpp_storageREQUIRED)

3. Add this dependency to your targets

   target_link_libraries(hello_worldPUBLICgoogle-cloud-cpp::storage)

4. Configure CMake using the vcpkg toolchain. This will automaticallydownload, and compilegoogle-cloud-cpp and its dependencies.

   cmake-S.-B[builddirectory]\-DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=[vcpkglocation]/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake

CMake with Conda

1. Install the dependencies using Conda:

   condaconfig--addchannelsconda-forgecondaconfig--setchannel_prioritystrictcondainstall-y-cconda-forgecmakeninjacxx-compilergoogle-cloud-cpplibgoogle-cloud

2. Edit yourCMakeLists.txt file to require the library

   find_package(google_cloud_cpp_storageREQUIRED)

3. Add this dependency to your targets

   target_link_libraries(hello_worldPUBLICgoogle-cloud-cpp::storage)

4. Configure CMake within your Conda environment..

   cmake-S.-B[builddirectory]

Bazel

1. In yourWORKSPACE file add the follow command to download theCloud Client Libraries for C++ source code:

   load("@bazel_tools//tools/build_defs/repo:http.bzl","http_archive")http_archive(name="google_cloud_cpp",sha256="db69dd73ef4af8b2e816d80ded04950036d0e0dccc274f8c3d3ed1d7f5692a1b",strip_prefix="google-cloud-cpp-2.32.0",url="https://github.com/googleapis/google-cloud-cpp/archive/v2.32.0.tar.gz",)

2. In yourWORKSPACE file call the Starlark functions to load recursivedependencies:

   load("@google_cloud_cpp//bazel:workspace0.bzl","gl_cpp_workspace0")gl_cpp_workspace0()load("@google_cloud_cpp//bazel:workspace1.bzl","gl_cpp_workspace1")gl_cpp_workspace1()load("@google_cloud_cpp//bazel:workspace2.bzl","gl_cpp_workspace2")gl_cpp_workspace2()load("@google_cloud_cpp//bazel:workspace3.bzl","gl_cpp_workspace3")gl_cpp_workspace3()load("@google_cloud_cpp//bazel:workspace4.bzl","gl_cpp_workspace4")gl_cpp_workspace4()load("@google_cloud_cpp//bazel:workspace5.bzl","gl_cpp_workspace5")gl_cpp_workspace5()

3. In yourBUILD file use the Cloud Storage library:

   cc_binary(name="hello_world",srcs=["hello_world.cc"],deps=["@google_cloud_cpp//:storage"],)
