I believe it should be GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS.

echo $GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS

It refers to the service account json file.

Here is a link you can follow:

https://cloud.google.com/docs/authentication/getting-started

You need to assign an appropriate role to a service account and download the key.

Then copy the content of the key and put it against the variable e.g. APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS.
