If you just want to use the library (not contribute to it), check out the official documentation: http://jgeewax.github.io/gcloud/documentation/
Start by cloning the repository:
$ git clone git://github.com/jgeewax/gcloud.git
$ cd gcloud
$ python setup.py develop
Chances are you have some dependency problems, if you're on Ubuntu, try installing the pre-compiled packages:
$ sudo apt-get install python-crypto python-openssl
or try installing the development packages (that have the header files included) and then pip install
the dependencies again:
$ sudo apt-get install python-dev libssl-dev

$ git clone git://github.com/jgeewax/gcloud.git
$ pip install sphinx
$ cd gcloud/docs
$ make html
Make sure you have nose
installed and:
$ git clone git://github.com/jgeewax/gcloud.git
