## Quickstart
1. [Create a service account and credentials](#creating-a-service-account).
2. Set the [environment variable](#environment-variables).
```sh
-export REDIS_CREDENTIALS=/path/to/json`
+export REDIS_CREDENTIALS=path/to/keyfile.json
```
3. Initialize the client.
```ruby
require "google/cloud/redis"
-client = Google::Cloud::Redis.new

-**Project ID** is discovered in the following order:

### Environment Variables
-The **Project ID** and **Credentials JSON** can be placed in environment
-variables instead of declaring them directly in code. Each service has its own
-environment variable, allowing for different service accounts to be used for
-different services. (See the READMEs for the individual service gems for
-details.) The path to the **Credentials JSON** file can be stored in the
-environment variable, or the **Credentials JSON** itself can be stored for
-environments such as Docker containers where writing files is difficult or not
