This is the unofficial installation guide, please refer to the official guide at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/install-azure-cli?view=azure-cli-latest
- download cygwin installation manager at https://cygwin.com/install.html
- prepare base cygwin environment with curl and wget packages:
setup-x86_64.exe -q -g -B -D -L -d -o -N -s http://cygwin.mirror.constant.com/ -l C:/cygwin/distro -R C:/cygwin -C Base -P curl,wget
(FAQ CLI), omit last two parameters-C Base -P curl,wget
to quietly update all cygwin packages, and optionally add-M
to reveal package manager - exec installed cygwin shell
- clean PATH environment variable:
export PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin"
(alternatively you may create a shortcutC:\cygwin\bin\mintty.exe -t "Cygwin Shell" -i "/Cygwin-Terminal.ico" /bin/env "CYGWIN_NOWINPATH=1" /bin/bash -l
) - install apt-cyg:
curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/transcode-open/apt-cyg/master/apt-cyg -o /bin/apt-cyg
- make apt-cyg executable:
chmod +x /bin/apt-cyg
- refresh apt-cyg cache:
apt-cyg update
- install required packages:
apt-cyg install python3 python3-devel gcc-g++ gcc-core libffi-devel openssl-devel make libsodium-devel libssl-devel
- create link to python3:
ln -s /usr/bin/python3 /usr/bin/python
- install pip:
curl -sSL https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py -o get-pip.py && python get-pip.py
- run install:
SODIUM_INSTALL=system pip install azure-cli
(may take some time to compile, if failed try to set specific version likeazure-cli==2.0.61
) - run external browser:
export BROWSER="cygstart"
- login:
az login
- confirm login in a web-browser
- check with:
az account show
andaz account list --o table
register cygwin in Windows context menu
apt-cyg install chere
chere -i -t mintty -e "Open Cygwin Here" -s bash -c -f -o '-t \"Cygwin Shell\" -i \"/Cygwin-Terminal.ico\"'
I can confirm that this works a treat :-)
Thank you sir - wishing you a merry everything and a happy new year
