You can also execute the examples and develop your Google Ads API application
inside a Docker container, built using the provided
Dockerfile and
docker-compose.yml.
To do so (provided that you have a Docker environment
installed), run the following command in the
directory where you cloned this repository:
docker-compose up --build -d
This will provide a Docker container instance with the execution environment set
up.
To open a Bash shell inside the Docker container, run docker ps to get
the container ID, then run:
docker exec -it <YOUR_CONTAINER_ID> bash
This will allow you to run code examples and other applications inside the
container.
As a shorthand, in case you only have a single Docker container running on your
machine, you can also run:
