azure-cli on Bash Windows 10

Once you get the Anniversary Update for Windows 10 you will be able to run Bash on Windows provided by Ubuntu. Very excited about this! It will make managing Linux machines that much easier.

Installing azure-cli

1. Install NPM - sudo apt-get install -y nodejs

2. Install azure-cli - npm install -g azure-cli

3. Create symbolic link between nodejs and node - sudo ln -s /usr/bin/nodejs /usr/bin/node

And you are done. After running azure you should see this...
