Google Cloud SDK installer ERROR Download failed: connecting to host

Question

I'm trying to download Google Cloud SDK in my computer but during the installation that error occurred:

Download failed: connecting to host.

Can you help me to solve it?

Answer 1

This error could also occur if your computer is behind corporate firewall. The easiest solution is to NOT use installer, but download versioned archive using the following link https://cloud.google.com/sdk/docs/downloads-versioned-archives, then follow the instructions on the page e.g. for windows run

.\google-cloud-sdk\install.bat
