This walkthrough shows how to install Tidal Tools in Google Cloud Shell and confirm the CLI is ready for discovery and assessment work.
Launch Cloud Shell
In the Google Cloud console, open Cloud Shell for your project. You get a remote Linux shell in the browser.
Install from get.tidal.sh
Open the Tidal Tools install page at get.tidal.sh, copy the one-line curl installer, paste it into Cloud Shell, and press Enter. The installer downloads and installs Tidal Tools in place. Confirm with tidal version.
Log in and run doctor
Run tidal login with your instance URL, email, and password. Then run tidal doctor to check version, API connectivity, and optional capabilities such as Docker-based analysis.
When the doctor checks pass, Tidal Tools on Google Cloud Shell is ready for mass assessment, discovery, and related CLI workflows against your Tidal instance.
