Setting up Azure CLI on Ubuntu<\/h2>\n

This tutorial will guide you for setting up azure cli on Ubuntu Linux systems.<\/p>\n

For this setup, we have used the following versions of the components,<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Ubuntu 24.04<\/li>\n
  2. Sudo\/root permission to execute the commands (Local workstation)<\/li>\n
  3. Azure user credentials<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Step 1: Install the required packages to install the Azure CLI <\/h3>\n

    Use the following command to install the packages<\/p>\n

    sudo apt-get update\nsudo apt-get install apt-transport-https ca-certificates curl gnupg lsb-release<\/code><\/pre>\n
    Step 2: Install the singing Key<\/h3>\n
    The official signing key will help verify the package<\/p>\n
    sudo mkdir -p \/etc\/apt\/keyrings\ncurl -sLS https:\/\/packages.microsoft.com\/keys\/microsoft.asc |\n  gpg --dearmor | sudo tee \/etc\/apt\/keyrings\/microsoft.gpg > \/dev\/null\nsudo chmod go+r \/etc\/apt\/keyrings\/microsoft.gpg<\/code><\/pre>\n
    Step 3: Add the Azure CLI Repository<\/h3>\n
    Use the following command to add the repo files on the machine where you want to install the Azure CLI<\/p>\n
    AZ_DIST=$(lsb_release -cs)\necho \"Types: deb\nURIs: https:\/\/packages.microsoft.com\/repos\/azure-cli\/\nSuites: ${AZ_DIST}\nComponents: main\nArchitectures: $(dpkg --print-architecture)\nSigned-by: \/etc\/apt\/keyrings\/microsoft.gpg\" | sudo tee \/etc\/apt\/sources.list.d\/azure-cli.sources<\/code><\/pre>\n
    Step 4: Install the Azure CLI Package<\/h3>\n
    Use the following command to install the Azure CLI on the Ubuntu machine<\/p>\n
    sudo apt-get update\nsudo apt-get install azure-cli<\/code><\/pre>\n
    Step 5: Verify Installation<\/h3>\n
    Once installed, verify the installation using the following command. <\/p>\n
    az version<\/code><\/pre>\n
    You will get a similar output<\/p>\n

    Configuring CLI with Azure Subscription<\/h2>\n
    To connect to your Azure subscription, you should configure your CLI for authentication. You can do this by executing the following command.<\/p>\n
    az login<\/code><\/pre>\n
    This will open an interactive web page and prompt you to provide your Azure cloud user credentials, such as Mail ID and the Password.<\/p>\n
    Once you are done with it, you will see the confirmation in your command line as shown below.<\/p>\n

    If you want to authenticate the Azure CLI with the Azure Service Principle refer this blog –> Authenticate Azure CLI Using Service Principal<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
    Adding Subscriptions<\/h3>\n
    If you have different subscriptions with your Azure account, you can add a specific subscription for the CLI. To do that, get the subscription name using the following command.<\/p>\n
    az account list --output table\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
    Add then, you can set a specific subscription using the following command.<\/p>\n
    az account set --subscription \"<subscription-name-or-id>\"\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
