curl https://sdk.cloud.google.com | bash
as seen at https://cloud.google.com/sdk/
It got all the way to the end and finished but even after I restarted my shell, the gcloud command still says it's not found.
Why isn't this installation working?

So below is my previous fix for this problem, but it turns out it isn't permanent. It works but every time you restart Terminal, you'd have to do the same thing which isn't practical.
So that is why I suggest you delete the current google-cloud-sdk directory, and just redo the installation. Be sure (as Zachary has mentioned) to answer yes (Y) to the prompt Modify profile to update your $PATH and enable bash completion? (Y/n).
Here is my old answer, but just redo the installation:
I had the same problem, gcloud wasn't working for me. But then, in the same directory as my google-cloud-sdk folder which I had just installed (my home directory), I found this file called test. Inside this test file I found two commands:
# The next line updates PATH for the Google Cloud SDK.
source '[path-to-my-home]/google-cloud-sdk/path.bash.inc'
# The next line enables bash completion for gcloud.
source '[path-to-my-home]/google-cloud-sdk/completion.bash.inc'
After I ran these two source commands in terminal, gcloud worked!

Achieved file and drop in your folder
Open terminal, go to your folder with file and enter this command:
./google-cloud-sdk/install.sh
"Modify profile to update your $PATH and enable bash completion?"
Enter this path to modify:
/Users/USERNAME_COMPUTER/.bashrc
After all install, enter this:
source ~/.bashrc
Enter this to check install gcloud:
gcloud - -version
Open new window terminal cmd+n
DONT CLOSE OLD WINDOW and enter in new window gcloud version
if: «command not found» go to step 9
else: Congratulations GCloud work in terminal
Return to old window and enter echo $PATH
and copy path to GCloud
Open BASH_PROFILE:
open ~/.bash_profile
Enter path to new Bash:
« export PATH="/Users/USERNAME_COMPUTER/google-cloud-sdk/bin:$PATH" »
Return to step 8

I had this issue today, and adding sudo to the install command fixed my issue on maxOS Sierra!
sudo ./google-cloud-sdk/install.sh

I'm running zsh and found this gist very helpful: https://gist.github.com/dwchiang/10849350
Edit the ~/.zshrc file to include these two lines:
# The next line updates PATH for the Google Cloud SDK.
source /Users/YOUR_USERNAME/google-cloud-sdk/path.zsh.inc
# The next line enables zsh completion for gcloud.
source /Users/YOUR_USERNAME/google-cloud-sdk/completion.zsh.inc
This assumes you installed the package in your main directory from the official docs
In my case, I switched the terminal from bash to zsh after I installed Google Cloud SDK, so it showed the 'zsh: command not found: gcloud' error.
It's solved by running
source ~/.zshrc

I know this question has been answered, but here are my two cent.
After installing gcloud, you need to restart the shell before you able to gcloud command.
How you do this, mostly depends on the file you keep your shell configuration. Most files are .bashrc_profile, .bashrc, .zshrc.
You can now restart with
source ~/.bashrc_profile
You can replace the file to the file you have.
Or if you don't care the file you have, on Mac or linux you can restart the shell .
exec -l $SHELL
and find the lines to append to ~/.zshrc
The lines to append can be obtained from the output of the previous command. For zsh users, It should be some like these:
export CLOUDSDK_PYTHON="/usr/local/opt/python@3.8/libexec/bin/python"
source "/usr/local/Caskroom/google-cloud-sdk/latest/google-cloud-sdk/path.zsh.inc"
source "/usr/local/Caskroom/google-cloud-sdk/latest/google-cloud-sdk/completion.zsh.inc"
(or choose the proper ones from the command output depending un the Shell you are using)

Open up a Terminal session.
In that session type:
source .bash_profile and then press enter
Now, the gcloud command should work
To launch it on MacOs Sierra, after install gcloud I modified my .bash_profile
Original lines:
# The next line updates PATH for the Google Cloud SDK.
if [ -f '/Users/alejandro/google-cloud-sdk/path.bash.inc' ]; then . '/Users/alejandro/google-cloud-sdk/path.bash.inc'; fi
# The next line enables shell command completion for gcloud.
if [ -f '/Users/alejandro/google-cloud-sdk/completion.bash.inc' ]; then . '/Users/alejandro/google-cloud-sdk/completion.bash.inc'; fi
updated to:
# The next line updates PATH for the Google Cloud SDK.
if [ -f '/Users/alejandro/google-cloud-sdk/path.bash.inc' ]; then source '/Users/alejandro/google-cloud-sdk/path.bash.inc'; fi
# The next line enables shell command completion for gcloud.
if [ -f '/Users/alejandro/google-cloud-sdk/completion.bash.inc' ]; then source '/Users/alejandro/google-cloud-sdk/completion.bash.inc'; fi
Restart the terminal and all become to work as expected!
This worked for me :
After saying Y to Modify profile to update your $PATH and enable bash completion? (Y/n)?
Google initiation is prompting this : Enter a path to an rc file to update, or leave blank to use and the default path was : [/Users/MY_USERSAME/.bash_profile]: but instead of pressing enter, I wrote : /Users/MY_USERNAME/.bashrc to change the path.
This would overwrite the default location that Google suggest.
Then, I only had to do source ~/.bashrc and everything works now!

After inspecting the installation zip by running ./google-cloud-sdk/install.sh --help, the parameter --path-update worked for me. Use it as follows,
./google-cloud-sdk/install.sh --path-update true
It will automatically add the PATH update to the .bashrc (see --rc-path parameter for different rc files). Add the --quiet parameter for no interactivity.
I found incorrect if-fi statements in my ~/.bash_profile
(no if condition in the next block)
source '/Users/yorko/google-cloud-sdk/path.bash.inc'
I just had to remove "fi" and run "source ~/.bash_profile" to make it work.
Edit your .zshrc and add the following
# The next line updates PATH for the Google Cloud SDK.
source /Users/USER_NAME/google-cloud-sdk/path.zsh.inc
# The next line enables zsh completion for gcloud.
source /Users/USER_NAME/google-cloud-sdk/completion.zsh.inc
Create new file named path.zsh.inc under your home directory(/Users/USER_NAME/):
script_link="$( readlink "$0" )" || script_link="$0"
apparent_sdk_dir="${script_link%/*}"
if [ "$apparent_sdk_dir" == "$script_link" ]; then
apparent_sdk_dir=.
sdk_dir="$( cd -P "$apparent_sdk_dir" && pwd -P )"
bin_path="$sdk_dir/bin"
export PATH=$bin_path:$PATH

Using .zsh shell you can just try to add glcoud in plugin list in the ~/.zshrc file.
plugins=(
gcloud
If that doesn't work, try this: (updated Krishna's answer)
Update the ~/.zshrc file
# Updates PATH for the Google Cloud SDK.
source /Users/austris/google-cloud-sdk/path.zsh.inc
# Enables zsh completion for gcloud.
source /Users/austris/google-cloud-sdk/completion.zsh.inc
Update the google-cloud-sdk/path.zsh.inc file with following
script_link="$( readlink "$0" )" || script_link="$0"
apparent_sdk_dir="${script_link%/*}"
if [[ "$apparent_sdk_dir" == "$script_link" ]]; then
apparent_sdk_dir=.
sdk_dir="$( cd -P "$apparent_sdk_dir" && pwd -P )"
bin_path="$sdk_dir/bin"
export PATH=$bin_path:$PATH

If you are running ZSH shell in MacOS you should rerun the installation and when you be asked for this question:
Modify profile to update your $PATH and enable shell command
completion?
answer YES
Enter a path to an rc file to update, or leave blank to use
[/Users/your_user/.bash_profile]:
answer(your zshrc path): /Users/your_user/.zshrc
Restart Terminal and that's all.
In addition to the above answers, depending on your distro, it may be necessary to execute the bash command from the command line before calling your gsutil command. This is the case for distros that have tcsh or other shell as the default. By typing "bash" the source is changed to the .bashrc file and the file is executed.
# Step 1
# Step 2
gsutil
#Step 3: profit!
Post installation instructions are not clear:
==> Source [/.../google-cloud-sdk/completion.bash.inc] in your profile to enable shell command completion for gcloud.
==> Source [/.../google-cloud-sdk/path.bash.inc] in your profile to add the Google Cloud SDK command line tools to your $PATH.
I had to actually add the following lines of code in my .bash_profile for gcloud to work:
source '/.../google-cloud-sdk/completion.bash.inc'
source '/.../google-cloud-sdk/path.bash.inc'
Once it is done try installing any package by glcloud command:
gcloud components install app-engine-php
It won't show the error.
The cause of my installation failure:
I am running a zsh terminal and the install.sh inserts path.bash.inc into my .bash_profile
cd [whereever]/google-cloud-sdk && ./install.sh
vi ~/.bash_profile
replace all instances of path.bash.inc with path.zsh.inc
os config:
macOS Catalina
https://stackoverflow.com/a/61491744/1989698
and then
Enter a path to an rc file to update, or leave blank to use
[/Users/uer/.bash_profile]: "/usr/lib/google-cloud-sdk/bin:$PATH"
result:
["/usr/lib/google-cloud-sdk/bin:$PATH"] has been updated.
