1. Select or create a Cloud Platform project._
2. Enable billing for your project._
3. Enable the Analytics Data API._
4. Setup Authentication._

.. _Select or create a Cloud Platform project.: https://console.cloud.google.com/project .. _Enable billing for your project.: https://cloud.google.com/billing/docs/how-to/modify-project#enable_billing_for_a_project .. _Enable the Analytics Data API.: https://developers.google.com/analytics/ .. _Setup Authentication.: https://googleapis.dev/python/google-api-core/latest/auth.html

Installation

Install this library in a virtual environment using `venv`_. `venv`_ is a tool that
creates isolated Python environments. These isolated environments can have separate
versions of Python packages, which allows you to isolate one project's dependencies
from the dependencies of other projects.

With `venv`_, it's possible to install this library without needing system
install permissions, and without clashing with the installed system
dependencies.

.. _`venv`: https://docs.python.org/3/library/venv.html
