Some of my issues go back to previous testing, since it took a whole afternoon last time to figure out which Google Developer account we were using, and ran out of time to do a lot of testing. I'm a beginner at this, so apologies ahead of time.
"To start up the Planemo Machine under GCE" Issues
So this is a long explanation, please read until the end.
Issue 1) My first attempt at command line didn't work:
Access Not Configured. The API (Compute Engine API) is not enabled for your project. Please use the Google Developers Console to update your configuration.
This may have been since the billing wasn't enabled on the account. So then I went into "To deploy via web interface" commands and followed the steps (which were easier to follow), but got stuck at 5.6.: "For the image, Select 'planemo-machine-image'"
Issue 2) There was no planemo-machine-image as an option. Why?
I went to "Equivalent REST or command line" at the end of the webpage, and clicked on "command line" which gave me something that looked similar to what is in the instructions. A mash-up of that line plus the line "gcloud compute images create planemo-machine-image --source-uri http://storage.googleapis.com/galaxyproject_images/planemo_machine.image.tar.gz" seemed to work:
Issue 3) So please maybe mention where you are putting the project-id? e.g. "level-elevator-666" or some example name id, since that was missing in the example command (i.e. It says "replace YOUR-PROJECT-ID with the Google cloud project" but I don't see any mention of the project-id in the command.)
Suggestion) I got to this point:
canghel@odl-boutroslab1440:~/SMCtesting$ gcloud compute instances create planemo \
Now if you navigate to the listed EXTERNAL_IP, you will find the running Planemo-Machine (i.e. copy the EXTERNAL_IP address [is it called an address?] 162.222.182.19 into the web browser).
This would help newbies like me who are used to web addresses starting with "https://".
Final question: How do you turn off a VM? (i.e. It says to turn it off it you are not using it. So I hope logging out of my terminal will be enough?)

Oops, you had to not ssh-ed into the machine... This worked
canghel@odl-boutroslab1440:~/SMCtesting$ gcloud compute images delete planemo-machine-image
The following images will be deleted:

Then I tried to click on https://www.googleapis.com/compute/v1/projects/vernal-parser-88722/zones/us-central1-f/instances/planemo, which was not the right thing to do! I remembered Chris C copied and pasted numbers into the web browser, so when I followed the directions and copied 130.211.190.173 into the web browser, it worked! So I would add something like this to beginners:

Do you want to continue (Y/n)? Y
Deleted [https://www.googleapis.com/compute/v1/projects/vernal-parser-88722/global/images/planemo-machine-image].
But: ubuntu@planemo:~$ gcloud compute images delete planemo-machine-image didn't.
This is about all I have time to do today...
