-# Gemini CLI authentication setup
-
-To use Gemini CLI, you'll need to authenticate with Google. This guide helps you
-quickly find the best way to sign in based on your account type and how you're
-using the CLI.
-
-For most users, we recommend starting Gemini CLI and logging in with your
-personal Google account.
-
-## Choose your authentication method <a id="auth-methods"></a>
-
-Select the authentication method that matches your situation in the table below:
-
-| User Type / Scenario                                                   | Recommended Authentication Method                                | Google Cloud Project Required                               |

-
-### What is my Google account type?
-
-- **Individual Google accounts:** Includes all
-  [free tier accounts](../quota-and-pricing/#free-usage) such as Gemini Code
-  Assist for individuals, as well as paid subscriptions for
-  [Google AI Pro and Ultra](https://gemini.google/subscriptions/).
-
-- **Organization accounts:** Accounts using paid licenses through an
-  organization such as a company, school, or
-  [Google Workspace](https://workspace.google.com/). Includes
-  [Google AI Ultra for Business](https://support.google.com/a/answer/16345165)
-  subscriptions.
-
-## (Recommended) Login with Google <a id="login-google"></a>
-
-If you run Gemini CLI on your local machine, the simplest authentication method
-is logging in with your Google account. This method requires a web browser on a
-machine that can communicate with the terminal running Gemini CLI (e.g., your
-local machine).
-
-> **Important:** If you are a **Google AI Pro** or **Google AI Ultra**
-> subscriber, use the Google account associated with your subscription.
-
-To authenticate and use Gemini CLI:
-
-1. Start the CLI:
-
-   ```bash
-   gemini
-   ```
-
-2. Select **Login with Google**. Gemini CLI opens a login prompt using your web
-   browser. Follow the on-screen instructions. Your credentials will be cached
-   locally for future sessions.
-
-### Do I need to set my Google Cloud project?
-
-Most individual Google accounts (free and paid) don't require a Google Cloud
-project for authentication. However, you'll need to set a Google Cloud project
-when you meet at least one of the following conditions:
-
-- You are using a company, school, or Google Workspace account.
-- You are using a Gemini Code Assist license from the Google Developer Program.
-- You are using a license from a Gemini Code Assist subscription.
-
-For instructions, see [Set your Google Cloud Project](#set-gcp).
-
-## Use Gemini API key <a id="gemini-api"></a>
-
-If you don't want to authenticate using your Google account, you can use an API
-key from Google AI Studio.
-
-To authenticate and use Gemini CLI with a Gemini API key:
-
-1. Obtain your API key from
-   [Google AI Studio](https://aistudio.google.com/app/apikey).
-
-2. Set the `GEMINI_API_KEY` environment variable to your key. For example:
-
-   ```bash
-   # Replace YOUR_GEMINI_API_KEY with the key from AI Studio
-   export GEMINI_API_KEY="YOUR_GEMINI_API_KEY"
-   ```
-
-   To make this setting persistent, see
-   [Persisting Environment Variables](#persisting-vars).
-
-3. Start the CLI:
-
-   ```bash
-   gemini
-   ```
-
-4. Select **Use Gemini API key**.
-
-> **Warning:** Treat API keys, especially for services like Gemini, as sensitive
-> credentials. Protect them to prevent unauthorized access and potential misuse
-> of the service under your account.
-
-## Use Vertex AI <a id="vertex-ai"></a>
-
-To use Gemini CLI with Google Cloud's Vertex AI platform, choose from the
-following authentication options:
-
-- A. Application Default Credentials (ADC) using `gcloud`.
-- B. Service account JSON key.
-- C. Google Cloud API key.
-
-Regardless of your authentication method for Vertex AI, you'll need to set
-`GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT` to your Google Cloud project ID with the Vertex AI API
-enabled, and `GOOGLE_CLOUD_LOCATION` to the location of your Vertex AI resources
-or the location where you want to run your jobs.
-
-For example:
-
-```bash
-# Replace with your project ID and desired location (e.g., us-central1)
-export GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT="YOUR_PROJECT_ID"
-export GOOGLE_CLOUD_LOCATION="YOUR_PROJECT_LOCATION"
-```
-
-To make any Vertex AI environment variable settings persistent, see
-[Persisting Environment Variables](#persisting-vars).
-
-#### A. Vertex AI - application default credentials (ADC) using `gcloud`
-
-Consider this authentication method if you have Google Cloud CLI installed.
-
-> **Note:** If you have previously set `GOOGLE_API_KEY` or `GEMINI_API_KEY`, you
-> must unset them to use ADC:
->
-> ```bash
-> unset GOOGLE_API_KEY GEMINI_API_KEY
-> ```
-
-1. Verify you have a Google Cloud project and Vertex AI API is enabled.
-
-2. Log in to Google Cloud:
-
-   ```bash
-   gcloud auth application-default login
-   ```
-
-3. [Configure your Google Cloud Project](#set-gcp).
-
-4. Start the CLI:
-
-   ```bash
-   gemini
-   ```
-
-5. Select **Vertex AI**.
-
-#### B. Vertex AI - service account JSON key
-
-Consider this method of authentication in non-interactive environments, CI/CD
-pipelines, or if your organization restricts user-based ADC or API key creation.
-
-> **Note:** If you have previously set `GOOGLE_API_KEY` or `GEMINI_API_KEY`, you
-> must unset them:
->
-> ```bash
-> unset GOOGLE_API_KEY GEMINI_API_KEY
-> ```
-
-1.  [Create a service account and key](https://cloud.google.com/iam/docs/keys-create-delete)
-    and download the provided JSON file. Assign the "Vertex AI User" role to the
-    service account.
-
-2.  Set the `GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS` environment variable to the JSON
-    file's absolute path. For example:
-
-    ```bash
-    # Replace /path/to/your/keyfile.json with the actual path
-    export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS="/path/to/your/keyfile.json"
-    ```
-
-3.  [Configure your Google Cloud Project](#set-gcp).
-
-4.  Start the CLI:
-
-    ```bash
-    gemini
-    ```
-
-5.  Select **Vertex AI**.
-    > **Warning:** Protect your service account key file as it gives access to
-    > your resources.
-
-#### C. Vertex AI - Google Cloud API key
-
-1.  Obtain a Google Cloud API key:
-    [Get an API Key](https://cloud.google.com/vertex-ai/generative-ai/docs/start/api-keys?usertype=newuser).
-
-2.  Set the `GOOGLE_API_KEY` environment variable:
-
-    ```bash
-    # Replace YOUR_GOOGLE_API_KEY with your Vertex AI API key
-    export GOOGLE_API_KEY="YOUR_GOOGLE_API_KEY"
-    ```
-
-    > **Note:** If you see errors like
-    > `"API keys are not supported by this API..."`, your organization might
-    > restrict API key usage for this service. Try the other Vertex AI
-    > authentication methods instead.
-
-3.  [Configure your Google Cloud Project](#set-gcp).
-
-4.  Start the CLI:
-
-    ```bash
-    gemini
-    ```
-
-5.  Select **Vertex AI**.
-
-## Set your Google Cloud project <a id="set-gcp"></a>
-
-> **Important:** Most individual Google accounts (free and paid) don't require a
-> Google Cloud project for authentication.
-
-When you sign in using your Google account, you may need to configure a Google
-Cloud project for Gemini CLI to use. This applies when you meet at least one of
-the following conditions:
-
-- You are using a Company, School, or Google Workspace account.
-- You are using a Gemini Code Assist license from the Google Developer Program.
-- You are using a license from a Gemini Code Assist subscription.
-
-To configure Gemini CLI to use a Google Cloud project, do the following:
-
-1.  [Find your Google Cloud Project ID](https://support.google.com/googleapi/answer/7014113).
-
-2.  [Enable the Gemini for Cloud API](https://cloud.google.com/gemini/docs/discover/set-up-gemini#enable-api).
-
-3.  [Configure necessary IAM access permissions](https://cloud.google.com/gemini/docs/discover/set-up-gemini#grant-iam).
-
-4.  Configure your environment variables. Set either the `GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT`
-    or `GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT_ID` variable to the project ID to use with Gemini
-    CLI. Gemini CLI checks for `GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT` first, then falls back to
-    `GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT_ID`.
-
-    For example, to set the `GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT_ID` variable:
-
-    ```bash
-    # Replace YOUR_PROJECT_ID with your actual Google Cloud project ID
-    export GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT="YOUR_PROJECT_ID"
-    ```
-
-    To make this setting persistent, see
-    [Persisting Environment Variables](#persisting-vars).
-
-## Persisting environment variables <a id="persisting-vars"></a>
-
-To avoid setting environment variables for every terminal session, you can
-persist them with the following methods:
-
-1.  **Add your environment variables to your shell configuration file:** Append
-    the `export ...` commands to your shell's startup file (e.g., `~/.bashrc`,
-    `~/.zshrc`, or `~/.profile`) and reload your shell (e.g.,
-    `source ~/.bashrc`).
-
-    ```bash
-    # Example for .bashrc
-    echo 'export GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT="YOUR_PROJECT_ID"' >> ~/.bashrc
-    source ~/.bashrc
-    ```
-
-    > **Warning:** Be aware that when you export API keys or service account
-    > paths in your shell configuration file, any process launched from that
-    > shell can read them.
-
-2.  **Use a `.env` file:** Create a `.gemini/.env` file in your project
-    directory or home directory. Gemini CLI automatically loads variables from
-    the first `.env` file it finds, searching up from the current directory,
-    then in `~/.gemini/.env` or `~/.env`. `.gemini/.env` is recommended.
-
-    Example for user-wide settings:
-
-    ```bash
-    mkdir -p ~/.gemini
-    cat >> ~/.gemini/.env <<'EOF'
-    GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT="your-project-id"
-    # Add other variables like GEMINI_API_KEY as needed
-    EOF
-    ```
-
-Variables are loaded from the first file found, not merged.
-
-## Running in Google Cloud environments <a id="cloud-env"></a>
-
-When running Gemini CLI within certain Google Cloud environments, authentication
-is automatic.
-
-In a Google Cloud Shell environment, Gemini CLI typically authenticates
-automatically using your Cloud Shell credentials. In Compute Engine
-environments, Gemini CLI automatically uses Application Default Credentials
-(ADC) from the environment's metadata server.
-
-If automatic authentication fails, use one of the interactive methods described
-on this page.
-
-## Running in headless mode <a id="headless"></a>
-
-[Headless mode](../cli/headless) will use your existing authentication method,
-if an existing authentication credential is cached.
-
-If you have not already logged in with an authentication credential, you must
-configure authentication using environment variables:
-
-- [Use Gemini API Key](#gemini-api)
-- [Vertex AI](#vertex-ai)
-
-## What's next?
-
-Your authentication method affects your quotas, pricing, Terms of Service, and
-privacy notices. Review the following pages to learn more:
-
-- [Gemini CLI: Quotas and Pricing](../quota-and-pricing.md).
-- [Gemini CLI: Terms of Service and Privacy Notice](../tos-privacy.md).
