If you want to interact with Microsoft Azure resources from your machine, you need an Azure CLI installed.

*Pre-Requisites: *

  1. Host Laptop (Windows, Mac, Linux)
  2. Azure CLI Installation documentation.

In this tutorial, I will share specific steps for installing Azure CLI using PowerShell.

Step 1: Installation using Powershell

Open PowerShell and copy paste the following commands

- For Windows 32 Bit


$ProgressPreference = 'SilentlyContinue'; Invoke-WebRequest -Uri https://aka.ms/installazurecliwindows -OutFile .\AzureCLI.msi; Start-Process msiexec.exe -Wait -ArgumentList '/I AzureCLI.msi /quiet'; Remove-Item .\AzureCLI.msi

- For Windows 64 Bit

$ProgressPreference = 'SilentlyContinue'; Invoke-WebRequest -Uri https://aka.ms/installazurecliwindowsx64 -OutFile .\AzureCLI.msi; Start-Process msiexec.exe -Wait -ArgumentList '/I AzureCLI.msi /quiet'; Remove-Item .\AzureCLI.msi

Step 2: Verify Installation

you can enter in powershell by typing 'az --version'

  • az --version
PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> az --version
azure-cli                         2.53.0

core                              2.53.0
telemetry                          1.1.0

Dependencies:
msal                            1.24.0b2
