A great cloud needs great tools; we're excited to introduce *Azure CLI 2.0*, our next generation multi-platform command line experience for Azure.
## Installation
```bash
$ curl -L https://aka.ms/InstallAzureCli | bash
```
Please refer to the [install guide](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/install-az-cli2) for detailed install instructions.
A list of common install issues and their resolutions are available at [install troubleshooting](https://github.com/Azure/azure-cli/blob/master/doc/install_troubleshooting.md).
### Developer Installation (see below)
- [Docker](#docker)
- [Nightly Builds](#nightly-builds)
- [Developer Setup](#developer-setup)
## Usage
```bash
$ az [ group ] [ subgroup ] [ command ] {parameters}
```
### Get Started
Please refer to the ["get started" guide](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/get-started-with-az-cli2) for in-depth instructions.
For usage and help content, pass in the `-h` parameter, for example:
The following examples are showing using the `--output table` format, you can change your default using the `az configure` command.
#### Tab Completion
We support tab-completion for groups, commands, and some parameters
```bash
# looking up resource group and name
$ az vm show -g [tab][tab]
AccountingGroup RGOne WebPropertiesRG
$ az vm show -g WebPropertiesRG -n [tab][tab]
StoreVM Bizlogic
$ az vm show -g WebPropertiesRG -n Bizlogic
```
#### Query
You can use the `--query` parameter and the [JMESPath](http://jmespath.org/) query syntax to customize your output.
```bash
$ az vm list --query "[?provisioningState=='Succeeded'].{ name: name, os: storageProfile.osDisk.osType }"
Name Os
---------------------- -------
storevm Linux
bizlogic Linux
demo32111vm Windows
dcos-master-39DB807E-0 Linux
```
#### Creating a VM
The following block creates a new resource group in the 'westus' region, then creates a new Ubuntu VM. We automatically provide a series of smart defaults, such as setting up SSH with your `~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub` key. For more details, try `az vm create -h`.
```bash
$ az group create -l westus -n MyGroup
Name Location
------- ----------
MyGroup westus
$ az vm create -g MyGroup -n MyVM --image ubuntults

## Developer Installation
### Docker
**This install does not support the component feature.**
We maintain a Docker image preconfigured with the Azure CLI. Run the latest automated Docker build with the command below.
```bash
$ docker run -v ${HOME}:/root -it azuresdk/azure-cli-python:latest
```
All command modules are included in this version as the image is built directly from the Git repository.
You can also get a specific version of Azure CLI 2.0 via Docker.
```bash
$ docker run -v ${HOME}:/root -it azuresdk/azure-cli-python:<version>
```
See our [Docker tags](https://hub.docker.com/r/azuresdk/azure-cli-python/tags/) for available versions.
### Nightly Builds
Install nightly builds with pip in a virtual environment.
$ az component update --add <component_name> --private
```
- To view the list of installed packages, run ``az component list``
