Fast accessing Google Service with the Command Line
Sometimes I get complaints from friends, that they have difficulty in accessing google docs or any other service. And the answer I given always the same, namely: the problem is on their Internet connection. For email service you can use basic HTML mode, while for other services you may be able to use the Command Line to access more quickly. How do I? follow the steps below.
This time I try to use Mac OS X.
- go to the terminal “command + space” type terminal.
- On the laptop you have already installed python, if it does not work, follow these steps:
- create a new directory from the terminal: $ mkdir ~ / source /
- into the folder: $ cd ~ / source
- run this script: $ curl -0 http://gdata-python-client.googlecode.com/files/gdata-2.0.10.tar.gz (download)
- tar extract it with: $ tar xzvf gdata-2.0.10.tar.gz
- Go into the directory: $ cd gdata-2.0.10
- Then install with the command: $ sudo python setup.py install
- Next Install google command line:
- download from here: $ curl -0 http://googlecl.googlecode.com/files/googlecl-0.9.5.tar.gz
- tar extract it with: $ tar xzvf googlecl-0.9.5.tar.gz
- Go into the directory: $ cd googlecl-0.9.5.tar.gz
- Then install with the command: $ sudo python setup.py install
Done, you can access Google via the command line commands from the computer, of course is much faster because it does not display the UI that takes a lot of resources.
Now try to access the google command line:
go to the terminal, or command prompt if you use Windows OS
> help
to see what you can do this via the command line google
for example, to view your calendar
> calendar list
add event to your calendar
> calendar add “Lunch with the client tomorrow afternoon”
to mengakiri command line
> quit
or upload photos to picasa, post your draft article to bloggers and others
in the process, you will be asked for authorization can you allow through your service google account settings.
Well, to moving around with google speed Internet service should not be malasah anymore right? good luck!
