### Step 1: Login to a compile node on Alpine

* Login to Alpine
* Load module Slurm, then start a compile job, then load module rclone
   ```
   $ module load slurm
   $ acompile
   $ module load rclone
   ```
* To test, run `rclone --version` at your prompt; if the software is installed a version number will be reported back to you, similar to:

   ```
   $ rclone --version
   rclone v1.58.0
   ```

### Step 2: configure google drive remote configuration

The steps below are also outlined in the [Rclone Documentation for Google Drive](https://rclone.org/drive/). We only list the critical steps. If a step is left out, assume you can select the default setting.

* Type `rclone config` to create a new profile for transferring files between Google Drive and PetaLibrary
* When prompted for whether to configure a “new” or “existing” profile type `n` for "new remote"
* When prompted to name the new profile provide any descriptive name you like (e.g., `gdrive_johndoe_cu`)
* When prompted for the type of storage to configure, select the number of the option for "Google Drive" (e.g., the number is "17" for _rclone_ v1.58.0)
* When prompted for Client ID, leave the field blank
* When prompted for Client Secret, leave the field blank
* When prompted for scope that `Rclone` should use when requesting access from Drive enter '1' for full drive access
* When prompted for root_folder_id, leave the field blank unless you'd like to specify a different root folder
* When prompted for service_account_file, leave the field blank
* When prompted to edit advanced config, choose "N" for no (default)
* When prompted for "Use Auto config?” choose "N" for no (default). `Rclone` will print a command in the form of:
   ```
   $ rclone authorize "drive" "<token>"
   ```
   Copy this command and run it on your local machine (`Rclone` must be installed). This will open your web browser to authenticate with your Google account.
* Once you are in your browser, you may be asked to authenticate to your Google account, and then you will be asked to allow `Rclone` to access the files in your `gdrive`. Complete this step to grant access.  If successful you'll receive a "success" message. 
* On your local machine, `Rclone` will print out a token. Copy everything between the arrows as directed and paste in the config_token field in your Alpine terminal
* When prompted for whether you want to configure this as a Shared Drive (Team Drive). Choose the appropriate answer; if this is your personal Drive account then choose `no` (default)
* Finally, you will be prompted to review the configuration and confirm whether it is okay. If everything looks okay, choose `yes` (default)
* Now type `q` to quit the configuration. 

#### Now test your Google Drive remote!

On your local machine type:
```bash
$ rclone ls gdrive_johndoe_cu
```
If this step fails, your Google Drive remote is not configured properly. Try reconfiguring your Google Drive remote again or submit a [support request form](https://colorado.service-now.com/req_portal?id=ucb_sc_rc_form) for assistance.

### Step 3: Create your PetaLibrary remote configuration

See instructions for creating an [Rclone remote configuration for PetaLibrary](./rclone.md)
