The following are the initial setup verification steps to be carried out before the recipe can be executed:
- Create or select a GCP project
- Enable billing and enable the default APIs (some APIs such as BigQuery, storage, monitoring, and a few others are enabled automatically)
- Install the Google Cloud SDK on your development machine and set up appropriate authentication
- Verify that the Cloud Bigtable Admin API is enabled
- Install the command-line tools—cbt and bq
- Install pip and virtualenv
