I recently switched from Windows 8.1 to Ubuntu so please forgive me if this is a stupid question. I'm new to all this. So I have python 2.7.6 installed and I tried to get Google App Engine working, here: Hello, World! - Python - Google Cloud Platform. How do I find the path to the Python SDK ?

Simple Tutorial

Here are the steps I followed to get GAE 1.7.1 working on Ubuntu 12.04.

open a terminal Ctr-t and make sure you are in the home directory. create a project folder. (I used google_projects) cd into the project folder download GAE 1.7.1 unzip the file delete the zip. (optional) Here are the terminal commands for the steps above:

    cd ~
mkdir google_projects
cd google_projects
wget -O gae.zip https://storage.googleapis.com/appengine-sdks/featured/google_appengine_1.9.6.zip
unzip gae.zip
rm gae.zip

Now its time to create the project and start the development server.

    cp -r google_appengine/new_project_template testapp
    python google_appengine/dev_appserver.py testapp

The first line simply copies and renames the new_project_template folder into google_proects as testapp. The last line starts the development server. You can stop it with Ctr-C.

With the development server up and running you can view testapp at localhost:8080. You should see "Hello world!".

Or you can do a diff way

sudo apt-get install python-pip
sudo pip install appengine

Then install a given VERSION of the SDK:

appengine.py [--prefix=/path/where/to/install] VERSION

Regards!
