* **Create a project**

Start off by visiting https://cloud.google.com/console
and click on the big red button
that says "Create Project".

* **Choose a name**

In the box that says "name",
choose something friendly.
This is going to be the *human-readable* name
for your project.

* **Choose an ID**

In the box that says "ID",
choose something unique
(hyphens are OK).
I typically choose a project name
that starts with my initials,
then a hyphen,
then a unique identifier for the work I'm doing.
For this example,
you might choose ``<initials>-quickstart``.

Then click OK
(give it a second to create your project).

Now that you have a project,
we need to make sure we are able to access our data.
There are many ways to authenticate,
but we're going to use a Service Account for today.

A *Service Account* is sort of like a username and password
(like when you're connecting to your MySQL database),
except the username is automatically generated
(and is an e-mail address)
and the password is actually a private key file.

To create a Service Account:

* **Click on Credentials**
under the "APIs & Auth" section.

* **Click the big red button**
that says "Create New Client ID"
under the OAuth section
(the first one).

* **Choose "Service Account"**
and click the blue button
that says "Create Client ID".

* **This will automatically**
download a private key file.
**Do not lose this.**

* **Rename your key** something shorter.
I like to name the key ``<project name>.p12``.

This is like your password for the account.

* **Copy the long weird e-mail address**
labeled "E-mail address"
in the information section
for the Service Account
you just created.

This is like your username for the account.
