Microsoft Az Command For Mac
Unified SDKs. The Azure Unified SDKs are collections of libraries for.NET, Java, JavaScript, and Python. They’re built on a common core for easy use of Azure services, with a focus on consistency, familiarity, and language idiomaticity. If you’re starting a new project or migrating existing projects, Microsoft recommends adopting these libraries. Last December, Microsoft released the new AZ PowerShell module, and since then, that is the recommended way to connect to Microsoft Azure using PowerShell. When using MacOS and Linux, the PowerShell Core 6.x is the minimum requirement for that new module.
For the macOS platform, you can install the Azure CLI with homebrew package manager. Homebrew makes it easy to keep yourinstallation of the CLI update to date. The CLI package has been tested on macOS versions 10.9 and later.
The current version of the Azure CLI is 2.1.0. For information about the latest release, see the release notes. To find your installed version and see if you need to update, run az --version.
Install with Homebrew
Homebrew is the easiest way to manage your CLI install. It provides convenient ways to install, update, and uninstall.If you don't have homebrew available on your system, install homebrew before continuing.
You can install the CLI by updating your brew repository information, and then running the install command:
Important
The Azure CLI has a dependency on the Homebrew python3 package, and will install it.The Azure CLI is guaranteed to be compatible with the latest version of python3published on Homebrew.
You can then run the Azure CLI with the az command. To sign in, use az login command.
Run the
logincommand.If the CLI can open your default browser, it will do so and load an Azure sign-in page.
Otherwise, open a browser page at https://aka.ms/devicelogin and enter theauthorization code displayed in your terminal.
Sign in with your account credentials in the browser.
To learn more about different authentication methods, see Sign in with Azure CLI.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter a problem when installing the CLI through Homebrew, here are some common errors. If you experience a problem not covered here, file an issue on github.
Completion is not working
The Homebrew formula of Azure CLI installs a completion file named az in the Homebrew-managed completions directory (default location is /usr/local/etc/bash_completion.d/). To enable completion, please follow Homebrew's instructions here.
Unable to find Python or installed packages
There may be a minor version mismatch or other issue during homebrew installation. The CLI doesn't use a Python virtual environment, so it relies on findingthe installed Python version. A possible fix is to install and relink the python3 dependency from Homebrew.

CLI version 1.x is installed
If an out-of-date version was installed, it could be because of a stale homebrew cache. Follow the update instructions.
Proxy blocks connection
You may be unable to get resources from Homebrew unless you have correctly configured it touse your proxy. Follow the Homebrew proxy configuration instructions.
Important
If you are behind a proxy, HTTP_PROXY and HTTPS_PROXY must be set to connect to Azure services with the CLI.If you are not using basic auth, it's recommended to export these variables in your .bashrc file.Always follow your business' security policies and the requirements of your system administrator.
In order to get the bottle resources from Homebrew, your proxy needs to allow HTTPS connections tothe following addresses:
https://formulae.brew.shhttps://homebrew.bintray.com
Update
The CLI is regularly updated with bug fixes, improvements, new features, and preview functionality. A new release is available roughly everytwo weeks. Update your local repository information and then upgrade the azure-cli package.
Uninstall
If you decide to uninstall the Azure CLI, we're sorry to see you go. Before you uninstall, use the az feedback command to let us knowwhat could be improved or fixed. Our goal is to make the Azure CLI bug-free and user-friendly. If you found a bug, we'd appreciate it if you file a GitHub issue.
Use homebrew to uninstall the azure-cli package.
Other installation methods
If you can't use homebrew to install the Azure CLI in your environment, it's possible to use the manual instructions for Linux. Note thatthis process is not officially maintained to be compatible with macOS. Using a package manager such as Homebrew is always recommended. Only use the manualinstallation method if you have no other option available.
For the manual installation instructions, see Install Azure CLI on Linux manually.
Next Steps
Now that you've installed the Azure CLI, take a short tour of its features and common commands.
There are many ways to create, manage, remove resources from Azure subscription. For the users who prefer GUI has Azure Classic portal and Azure Resource Manager. For PowerShell lovers Azure has Azure PowerShell module. Apart from that there are other methods such as terraform (I already wrote articles about it, if you want to know more about it, search for “terraform” in the blog) which simplifies Azure resource management. Azure CLI is also a command-line tool introduced by Microsoft which can use to manage azure resources. This is allowing to use from multiple platform such as Linux, Mac OS and Windows. This blog post is to explain how we can configure windows system to use Azure CLI.
There are two ways which we can use to connect to Azure CLI.
Using Azure Portal
Azure also allow to use web based version of Azure CLI with name of “Cloud Shell”. This is easily can open through the browser. In order to access it,
1)Log in to Azure Portal
2)Click on Cloud Shell icon on top right-hand side
3)When you do this for first time it will ask to create Azure file share. You can select relevant subscription and click on “Create Storage”
4)Once it is created the storage, it will load up the shell access through the browser.
Using Windows Computer
We also can use Azure CLI from the local computer. as I said this is not only supported to use with windows systems. it is supported to use with Linux and Mac OS. In this demo, I am going to demonstrate how to configure it with windows system.
Azure CLI uses python so out configuration will be based on python installation.
1)Log in to computer as an administrator
2)Go to https://www.python.org/downloads/ and download python
3)Once file is downloaded, run it as administrator to install. During the installation, make sure to select option “Add Python 3.6 to PATH” option. Then it will allow to use python commands without navigating to installation location.
4)Once installation completed, open windows command-line and type python –version. this will confirm the python installation. (it is recommended to open command line as administrator, otherwise it will say PATH records are not added as we ran the installation as Administrator)
5)Next step is to install Azure CLI libraries. In order to do that run pip install –user azure-cli
6)Once it is completed, move to C:Users[Admin User]AppDataRoamingPythonPython36Scripts and run command az . This will verify the Azure CLI integration. If it needs to run from anywhere add it to the PATH.
7)Now let’s try to log in to Azure using Azure CLI. In order to do that we can use az login -u azureusername -p password. the problem on this method is that password need to type in as clear text. Instead of that we can use browser based more secure login. To do that type az login in command-line.
The it gives a link and code to use for authentication.
8)Once it is open in browser it asks for the verification code. Once its enter click on Continue
In next page, it verifies the Azure login and then confirm the connection.
When we go back to Azure CLI, we can see its successfully logged in and showing the subscription data.
This confirms the successful connection to Azure using Azure CLI. This is the end of this post and in next post let’s see how we can add, manage, remove azure resources via Azure CLI. Hoep this was helpful and if you have any questions feel free to contact me on rebeladm@live.com
