Matt,

You should have some directory holding Gam and it's files; just move that to the new machine. You can save some time by emptying the gamcache folder first.
Gam is self-contained, there are no registry entries (Windows) or system-level configuration files (Linux/MacOS).

Grab the json files, and the oauth2.txt, download and unpack a Mac version of GAM, and put them in that dir.
Run "gam info domain" and see if that works.
If not do "gam oauth create" and you should be back in business. You may have to delete the old oauth file first.

I highly recommend using Google Cloud Shell and then you have GAM on any machine right in the browser. Just create a new project in GCP and install.

Nice Steve.  I just moved my GAM and all scripts I use up to Google Cloud Shell.  It runs a little faster than my local shell as well!

Yeah, I use Cloud Shell for all my GAM installs. Then you can run it on almost any device.

Anybody could send any information about how to do that? Install and use GAM in Google Cloud Shell.

Thank you!

Once you are there, you can install GAM as normal.  Then you are good to go!

It worked flawlessly!
Wonderful, having GAM in any computer, even Chromebooks!
Thank you very much.
