How to manage Wolfram Mathematica's private core on the Google Cloud Platform

Question

I would like to be able to process Wolfram Language through the command line of a computer with a large amount of memory. This seems to be easy to accomplish using GCP. I would like to create a large instance, use it as long as necessary, and then delete the instance. I am curious how can I install and configure Mathematica on GCP? I know that I can use simple text input, but I do not know how to install and activate Mathematica only through the command line.

Yes, GCP has a special service called Compute Engine . You must create a Linux virtual machine from an interface. Use any Linux distribution that you like best. After that SSH into the machine and start following the steps described here http://support.wolfram.com/kb/17399 Good luck.
