Setting up an environment on Firebase

By the end of this guide, an environment on Firebase will be created on an existing Google Cloud project in an automated way using a script.

Prerequisites

• Have a Google Cloud project already setup and GCloud CLI installed and configured. If it is not the case, please go back to corresponding guide.

• If this is your first time using Firebase you need to manually accept the Firebase terms and conditions. To do so, please access the console and create your first project, marking both checkboxes regarding Firebase conditions (Google Analytics is not necessary). After that you can delete it, and proceed to use the script.
