Install Azure CLI on PowerShell

To install Azure CLI on PowerShell, perform the following steps:

1. In your PowerShell command prompt, execute the following command to download Azure CLI executable file:

   PS C:\Users\TestUser> $ProgressPreference = 'SilentlyContinue'; Invoke-WebRequest -Uri https://azcliprod.blob.core.windows.net/msi/azure-cli-2.51.0.msi -OutFile .\AzureCLI.msi; Start-Process msiexec.exe -Wait -ArgumentList '/I AzureCLI.msi /quiet'; Remove-Item .\AzureCLI.msi

2. Install Az PowerShell module.

   PS C:\Users\TestUser> Install-Module Az

   The latest version of the Az PowerShell module from the PowerShell repository is downloaded and installed.

3. Log in using your Azure account to start a CLI session.

   PS C:\Users\TestUser> az login
   

4. Authorize your session.

   Once the authorization is complete, you can access the Azure Portal. The session details appear in the PowerShell prompt.

   A web browser has been opened at https://login.microsoftonline.com/organizations/oauth2/v2.0/authorize. Please continue the login in the web browser. If no web browser is available or if the web browser fails to open, use device code flow with `az login --use-device-code`.
