# Deploy Langflow on Google Cloud Platform
**Duration**: 45 minutes
**Author**: [Robert Wilkins III](https://www.linkedin.com/in/robertwilkinsiii)
## Introduction
In this tutorial, you will learn how to deploy Langflow on [Google Cloud Platform](https://cloud.google.com/) (GCP) using Google Cloud Shell.
This tutorial assumes you have a GCP account and basic knowledge of Google Cloud Shell. If you're not familiar with Cloud Shell, you can review the [Cloud Shell documentation](https://cloud.google.com/shell/docs).
## Set up your environment
Before you start, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
- A GCP account with the necessary permissions to create resources
- A project on GCP where you want to deploy Langflow
[**Select your GCP project**]<walkthrough-project-setup
billing="true"
apis="compute.googleapis.com,container.googleapis.com">
</walkthrough-project-setup>
In the next step, you'll configure the GCP environment and deploy Langflow.
## Configure the GCP environment and deploy Langflow
Run the deploy_langflow_gcp.sh script to configure the GCP environment and deploy Langflow:
```sh
gcloud config set project <walkthrough-project-id/>
bash ./deploy_langflow_gcp.sh
```
The script will:
1. Check if the required resources (VPC, subnet, firewall rules, and Cloud Router) exist and create them if needed
2. Create a startup script to install Python, Langflow, and Nginx
3. Create a Compute Engine VM instance with the specified configuration and startup script
4. Configure Nginx to serve Langflow on TCP port 8080
In the next step, you'll learn how to connect to the Langflow VM.
## Connect to the Langflow VM
<walkthrough-conclusion-trophy></walkthrough-conclusion-trophy>
To connect to your new Langflow VM, follow these steps:
1. Navigate to the [VM instances](https://console.cloud.google.com/compute/instances) page
2. Click on the external IP for your VM
<br>or
3. Run the following command to store the VM's IP in a variable called `LANGFLOW-IP`:
```bash
export LANGFLOW_IP=$(gcloud compute instances list --filter="NAME=langflow-dev" --format="value(EXTERNAL_IP)")
echo http://$LANGFLOW_IP:8080
```
4. You will be greeted by the Langflow Dev environment
Congratulations! You have successfully deployed Langflow on Google Cloud Platform.
## Cleanup
If you want to remove the resources created during this tutorial, you can use the following commands:
```sql
gcloud compute instances delete langflow-dev --zone us-central1-a --quiet
gcloud compute routers nats delete nat-gateway --router nat-client --region us-central1 --quiet
gcloud compute routers delete nat-client --region us-central1 --quiet
gcloud compute firewall-rules delete allow-tcp-8080 --quiet
gcloud compute firewall-rules delete allow-iap --quiet
gcloud compute networks subnets delete default --region us-central1 --quiet
gcloud compute networks delete default --quiet
```
