 ## Pre-requisites
-* `pip install google-cloud-aiplatform`
+* `pip install google-cloud-aiplatform` (pre-installed on proxy docker image)
 * Authentication: 
     * run `gcloud auth application-default login` See [Google Cloud Docs](https://cloud.google.com/docs/authentication/external/set-up-adc)
-    * Alternatively you can set `application_default_credentials.json`
+    * Alternatively you can set `GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS`
 
+    Here's how: [**Jump to Code**](#extra)
+
+      - Create a service account on GCP
+      - Export the credentials as a json
+      - load the json and json.dump the json as a string
+      - store the json string in your environment as `GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS`
