Getting started
gapic-google-cloud-spanner-admin-database-v1 will allow you to connect to the
Cloud Spanner Database Admin API and access all its methods. In order to do this, you need
to set up authentication as well as install the library locally.
Setup Authentication
To authenticate all your API calls, first install and setup the `Google Cloud SDK`_.
Once done, you can then run the following command in your terminal:
.. code-block:: console
$ gcloud beta auth application-default login
or
.. code-block:: console
$ gcloud auth login
Please see `gcloud beta auth application-default login`_ document for the difference between these commands.

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.
