.. _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 Document AI API.: https://cloud.google.com/document-ai/docs .. _Setup Authentication.: https://googleapis.dev/python/google-api-core/latest/auth.html

Installation

Install this library in a `virtualenv`_ using pip. `virtualenv`_ is a tool to
create isolated Python environments. The basic problem it addresses is one of
dependencies and versions, and indirectly permissions.

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