I moved the extracted folder to my home directory and it worked just fine. 
Thanks!

What do you mean to the extracted folder?

Hi chuck,
I downloaded the zip package and extracted the content to a folder. That's all. 
It was just a permission stupid mistake I could have avoided.

Looks like we might have a break on the newest version of Ubuntu. Could you 
take a look and see what's going on?

@sreejith You may want to copy the downloaded package to your home directory, 
extract and execute the installation script from there. That is exactly what I 
do. Could be a quick fix your you.

I'm having the same problem after upgrading to latest ubuntu this morning. I 
suspect it might be a ssl issue.

sorry .. doesn't seem to be an ssl mistake. Rather a permission one.
So first tried to get the sdk install via curl, and failed miserably ... Then 
did it via sudo curl ..... and worked fine.
But after trying to log via gcloud auth login, I ran into some other errors. 
*There seemed to be an error with permission at ~/.config/gcloud/gce file. I 
did a chown on the file ... and suddenly it worked.
