Solution 1:[1]

After logging into firebase with "firebase login" you will need to do: "firebase init" and then select the correct options when prompted. be sure to press the space bar to check the functions circle in the command line.

Solution 2:[2]

firebase init didn't work for me, but firebase init hosting did. You can read the firebase hosting initialization docs here.
