# Download and extract

tar -xvf downloadazcopy-v10-linux

# Move AzCopy
sudo rm -f /usr/bin/azcopy
sudo cp ./azcopy_linux_amd64_*/azcopy /usr/bin/

Use quotes on "*.txt" to run it inside zsh

curl -L https://aka.ms/downloadazcopy-v10-linux | sudo tar --strip-components=1 -C /usr/local/bin --no-same-owner --exclude="*.txt" -xzvf - | sudo chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/azcopy

Thanks @rzewus and thanks @SolomidHero for your suggestions and help getting my code into a one-liner.
Love it

azcopy can now be installed via apt/dnf/etc.

I would suggest that you can still have multiple lines for clarity, while still using stdin/stdout to remove the need to drop tons of files on the filesystem to then just clean them up...

something like:

# Download and extract azcopy binary to /usr/local/bin
curl -L https://aka.ms/downloadazcopy-v10-linux | \
sudo tar --strip-components=1 -C /usr/local/bin --no-same-owner --exclude="*.txt" -xzvf -

# Update permissions to allow non-root execution
sudo chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/azcopy
