Set the environment variable GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS
to the path of the JSON file that contains your credentials.
This variable applies only to your current shell session, so if you open
a new session, set the variable again.
Example: Linux or macOS
exportGOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS="KEY_PATH"
Replace KEY_PATH with the path of the JSON file that contains your credentials.
