Hi Juliana,

Try the following:

The following steps use APT to install Core Tools on your Ubuntu/Debian Linux distribution. For other Linux distributions, see the Core Tools readme.

1. Install the Microsoft package repository GPG key, to validate package integrity:

BashCopy

curl https://packages.microsoft.com/keys/microsoft.asc | gpg --dearmor > microsoft.gpg
sudo mv microsoft.gpg /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/microsoft.gpg

1. Set up the APT source list before doing an APT update.

Ubuntu

BashCopy

sudo sh -c 'echo "deb [arch=amd64] https://packages.microsoft.com/repos/microsoft-ubuntu-$(lsb_release -cs)-prod $(lsb_release -cs) main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/dotnetdev.list'

Debian

BashCopy

sudo sh -c 'echo "deb [arch=amd64] https://packages.microsoft.com/debian/$(lsb_release -rs | cut -d'.' -f 1)/prod $(lsb_release -cs) main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/dotnetdev.list'

Check the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/dotnetdev.list file for one of the appropriate Linux version strings in the following table:

Debian 11	bullseye
Debian 10	buster
Debian 9	stretch
Ubuntu 22.04	jammy
Ubuntu 20.04	focal
Ubuntu 19.04	disco
Ubuntu 18.10	cosmic
Ubuntu 18.04	bionic
Ubuntu 17.04	zesty
Ubuntu 16.04/Linux Mint 18	xenial

1. Start the APT source update:

BashCopy

sudo apt-get update

1. Install the Core Tools package:

BashCopy

sudo apt-get install azure-functions-core-tools-4
