Microsoft Azure CLI is a command line tool to manage and deploy Azure Cloud. To install Azure CLI on ubuntu, run

echo "deb [arch=amd64] https://packages.microsoft.com/repos/azure-cli/ wheezy main" | \
     sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/azure-cli.list

This will add the Azure repository, now we need to trust the GPG key provided by microsoft with command

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver packages.microsoft.com --recv-keys 417A0893

press enter.

Next you can install the azure-cli with

sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install azure-cli

You can access azure-cli with command “az”.
