gcloud docker command not found?

[Garrett Everding]

Hi,

I'm trying to run ```gcloud docker``` from inside a gce instance and it says the command isn't found. I know it works on my local machine running 0.9.69 but inside my gce instance the command doesn't exists. Is their a way to upgrade gcloud inside a gce instance?

Hello Garrett,

The GCE instance doesn't come with docker client installed on it. You can install the docker on your GCE instance in order to use gcloud docker commands. You find more information on the gcloud docker commands on this link.

I hope that helps.

I have the docker client installed so I can run "$ docker pull ubuntu" but I need a newer version of gcloud to run "$ gcloud docker pull gcr.io/<project>/<image>". And I cant update gcloud to the requisite version without manually installing.
