Here’s how you do it:
See posts 123 & 124 in this thread.
I tried method in the web page linked by you, but could not succeed. It says “Invalid Credentials”
Can you please post a full wget or curl command to download following latest file directly to Pi?
modesmixer2_rpi2-3_deb9_20180616.tgz
Thanks in Advance.

Never mind, found it after lot of Googling 
GENERAL FORMAT TO DOWNLOAD PUBLICALLY SHARED FILES FROM GOOGLE CLOUD STORAGE
sudo wget -O path/to/folder/[NAME OF FILE TO BE DOWNLOADED] "https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=[FILE ID]"

[FILE ID] (extracted from above link):
1lV_tUMVIj_CvM3kxdkk8PX2pLLAJskw_
Full assembled wget command:
sudo wget -O ~/mm2/modesmixer2_rpi2-3_deb9_20180616.tgz "https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=1lV_tUMVIj_CvM3kxdkk8PX2pLLAJskw_"

wget ‘https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&id=1lV_tUMVIj_CvM3kxdkk8PX2pLLAJskw_’ -O mm2
Be sure to include the quote marks and the -O mm2 (mm2 = downloaded filename)
Tried it on a Debian Stretch box (9.4) and it worked like a champ.
Yep. Essentially the same thing. 
I was just about ready to make my post, when you posted yours. 
Hopefully, it’ll save a few folks some time.

From me the one who has very little knowledge of of Linux. How do I simply putty the latest version om MM2? Of course without screwing up my installation I have right now?
Thanks,
Glenn
Are you comfortable using SSH to access your Pi?
very. as long I get the correct lines to input.
I am still learning but people like abcd567,evangelyul, dxista and a few others I had followed what they had posted and I followed with good success.

OK, that’s half the battle, so-to-speak.
abcd gave an example in post 123:
sudo wget -O ~/mm2/modesmixer2_rpi2-3_deb9_20180616.tgz "https://drive.google.com/ \ uc?export=download&id=1lV_tUMVIj_CvM3kxdkk8PX2pLLAJskw_"
The \ character at the end of the fist “line” signals bash the text on the next line is part of the command. i.e. as it were written all on one line. So be sure you include it if you don’t type the command all on the same line. (abcd typed his example all on the same “line” but the line got wrapped making it look like two lines)
If you do type the entire command on the same line, you don’t need the \ character.
Note: in this instance, one line, or the same line means typing all of the text, disregarding any line wrapping that may occur, then hitting Enter
That’ll do the download. If the directory you have the app in is the same as the one in the download command, it’d be a good idea to make a copy of the current version before you do the download.
Otherwise, download the file untar it and reboot.

@xlr99
Thanks for raising the issue to directly wget from Google Cloud Storage.
By the way, did you try adding this feature?
How-to Read / Set Gain from SkyView and Gmap
.
@glennblum
Glad to know it worked for you.

I have not gone after the gain part as of yet.

I’m in a rural area (small town, pop 900) and the nearest RFI is 25+ miles away. The high power sources are a bit more than twice that. When I first set it up, I experimented with various gain settings for a couple of weeks. Turned out that the setting that works best is AGC. So, something of a set it and forget it affair.
