Explanation

When you install SDK using apt Cloud SDK Component Manager is disabled and you need to install extra packages again using apt. https://cloud.google.com/sdk/docs/components#managing_cloud_sdk_components Note: These instructions will not work if you have installed Cloud SDK using a package manager such as APT or yum because Cloud SDK Component Manager is disabled when using that method of installation.
