The latest version available in the openSUSE repository is 2.38.1 (https://packages.microsoft.com/yumrepos/azure-cli/Packages/a/), when installing through script (https://aka.ms/doc/InstallAzureCli ) I'm getting version 2.39.0. How can I get the latest version (2.55.0)?
This command is in preview and under development. Reference and support levels: https://aka.ms/CLI_refstatus

you can use the install script
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/install-azure-cli-linux?pivots=script
Like I already wrote, I have tried the install script too, I'm then getting version 2.39.0, but not the latest which is 2.55.0

Hi @Anonymous did you tried also the manual update with the "az upgrade" command?

Hi Jonas, have you tried also the manual update using the command "az upgrade" ?

Hi rilopes
according to the
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/install-azure-cli-linux?pivots=zypper
site as you can see
Azure CLI 2.38.1 (released on September 01, 2023) is the lastest version supported on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) and OpenSUSE (Leap) and will continue to receive security fixes until the end of June 2024. Microsoft isn't providing other updates or bug fixes for these distributions.
Also if you check
https://packages.microsoft.com/yumrepos/azure-cli/Packages/a/
you cannot see the 2.55 version
the latest version is 2.38.1
rilopes-MSFT the output at the of my question is from az upgrade, so why do you ask me again to do az upgrade? Anyway. it's pointing me to the URL to run the script, and I already ran the script. With the repository, az upgrade is doing zypper up but the repository does not have the newest version as you can see on https://packages.microsoft.com/yumrepos/azure-cli/Packages/a/.
I got this working with a workaround. I will reach out to the repo maintainers about adding the latest azure-cli to the repo. Can you confirm the version of openSUSE you are using?
Here is how I got this working from a fresh openSUSE Leap 15.4 image:
sudo rpm --import https://packages.microsoft.com/keys/microsoft.asc
sudo zypper addrepo --name 'RHEL8' --check https://packages.microsoft.com/rhel/8/prod rhel8
sudo zypper refresh
sudo zypper install --from rhel8 azure-cli

openSUSE Leap 15.4 is end of life, I'm using openSUSE Leap 15.5.
I confirmed this process also works with 15.5. It does install python 3.9.

Thanks for the suggestion but I won't add incompatible repostories.
I installed a newer python using pyenv, then it worked using the install script (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/install-azure-cli-linux?pivots=script).
Main issue is that Python on openSUSE Leap is too old, still on version 3.6.
I'll consider switching to tumbleweed soon.
I think the main issue is that openSUSE Leap 15.5 uses Python 3.6 which is end of life.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/install-azure-cli-linux?pivots=zypper seem to use pip to install it.
But one of the azure-cli packages requires a higher version of Python.
