After you have setup your Azure account on the website, you can install azure command line utilities to manage your Azure cloud platform.

First you need to install Node.js and npm. Node.js is a javascript runtime server, essentially an advanced development tool. See link: https://nodejs.org/en/about. npm is a javascript package manager.

There are three methods to install the command line tools.

Use npm
Use Windows MSI or Mac installer
Use within a docker container.

To install under linux:

$ sudo npm install -g azure-cli

To view all the options:

$ azure help

To install the docker container:

$ docker run -it microsoft/azure-cli

Enable bash command line completion:

$ azure --completion >> ~/azure.completion.sh
$ echo 'source ~/azure.completion.sh' >> ~/.bash_profile

To upgrade the tools:

$ sudo npm update -g azure-cli
