## I'm not using Compute Engine. What do I need to do?

If you are not running this client on Google Compute Engine, you need a Google Developers service account. To create a service account:

1. Visit the [Google Developers Console][dev-console].
2. Create a new project or click on an existing project.
3. Navigate to **APIs & auth** > **APIs section** and turn on the following APIs (you may need to enable billing in order to use these services):
* Google Cloud Datastore API
* Google Cloud Storage
* Google Cloud Storage JSON API
4. Navigate to **APIs & auth** > **Credentials** and then:
* If you want to use a new service account, click on **Create new Client ID** and select **Service account**. After the account is created, you will be prompted to download the JSON key file that the library uses to authorize your requests.
* If you want to generate a new key for an existing service account, click on **Generate new JSON key** and download the JSON key file.
If you are not running this client on Google Compute Engine, you need a Google Developers service account. To create a service account, please see our [Authorization][auth-guide] guide.
