NAME

gcloud components - list, install, update, or remove Google Cloud SDK components

SYNOPSIS

gcloud components GROUP | COMMAND [GLOBAL-FLAG ...]

DESCRIPTION
List, install, update, or remove Google Cloud SDK components. Because you might need only some of the tools in the Cloud SDK to do your work, you can control which tools are installed on your workstation. You can install new tools on your workstation when you find that you need them, and remove tools that you no longer need. The gcloud command regularly checks whether updates are available for the tools you already have installed, and gives you the opportunity to upgrade to the latest version. Certain components depend on other components. When you install a component that you need, all components upon which it directly or indirectly depends, and that are not already present on your workstation, are installed automatically. When you remove a component, all components that depend on the removed component are also removed.
