Cannot Use the ML CLI v2

Question

After installing the ML CLI v2, following the steps here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/machine-learning/how-to-configure-cli?tabs=public,
I get the following error. For instance, when calling: az ml -h

cannot import name 'ARMChallengeAuthenticationPolicy' from 'azure.mgmt.core.policies' ([FILEPATH]__init__.pyc)
'ml' is misspelled or not recognized by the system.

{
"azure-cli": "2.23.0",
"azure-cli-core": "2.23.0",
"azure-cli-telemetry": "1.0.6",
"extensions": {
"ml": "2.6.1"
}
}

Answer 1

@MLops user I think this was a known issue with older versions of Azure cli failing to support the Azure ML cli. Is it possible to upgrade the Azure cli version to a version >=2.30?
A manual upgrade with the following command should work:

az upgrade  

I personally uninstalled older version of azure cli and installed the latest version of Azure cli and then installed the azure ml cli extension. This is the current setup with the latest version that works fine.

az version  
{  
  "azure-cli": "2.38.0",  
  "azure-cli-core": "2.38.0",  
  "azure-cli-telemetry": "1.0.6",  
  "extensions": {  
    "ml": "2.6.1"  
  }  
}
