# Create a new Google Cloud Platform project with terraform
The file `main.tf` creates a new, empty project in Google Cloud Platform, with
the minimum set of APIs enabled to allow terraform to manage the project.
Billing can't be enabled by terraform. Ask someone to do that for you.
## Prerequisites
1. `gcloud`
1. `terraform`
## Create a new project
1. Authorise yourself with `gcloud auth application-default login`. Terraform
will use `gcloud` to enable two particular APIs that must be enabled before
terraform can itself enable other APIs.
1. `terraform init`
1. `terraform apply`
If you get the following error, then do as it says. Wait a few minutes, and
then `terraform apply` again
> `Error: Error creating Dataset: googleapi: Error 403: BigQuery API has not been used in project 409103136735 before or it is disabled. Enable it by visiting https://console.developers.google.com/apis/api/bigquery.googleapis.com/overview?project=409103136735 then retry. If you enabled this API recently, wait a few minutes for the action to propagate to our systems and retry.`
## Use an existing project
This could wipe everything from an existing project. It is intended to be done
when you created a project manually, using the console, had it linked with a
billing account, and now want to use terraform with it.
1. `terraform init`
1. `terraform import google_project.project my-test-project`
1. `terraform apply`
If you get the following error, then do as it says. Wait a few minutes, and
then `terraform apply` again
> `Error: Error creating Dataset: googleapi: Error 403: BigQuery API has not been used in project 409103136735 before or it is disabled. Enable it by visiting https://console.developers.google.com/apis/api/bigquery.googleapis.com/overview?project=409103136735 then retry. If you enabled this API recently, wait a few minutes for the action to propagate to our systems and retry.`
## Disabling an API
[Terraform won't disable an API once it has been
created](https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/google/latest/docs/resources/google_project_service#import).
APIs can only be disabled manually in the console or with `gcloud`, for example:
```sh
gcloud services disable storage.googleapis.com --project my-test-project
```
