Question

Hi Folks. When will the CLI be available for Ubuntu 24.04? Thanks.

Answer 1

Hi @MarkofTheKanes
Answer by @Spencer Young is correct. As of the latest information available, the Azure CLI package specifically for Ubuntu 24.04 has not yet been released. However, afaik the install script has been deprecated and is confirmed by the product team on this GitHub thread https://github.com/Azure/azure-cli/issues/28872https://github.com/Azure/azure-cli/issues/28791

The team is addressing the issue and confirmed that they'll be releasing a package for 24.04 soon.

There is no specific release for Ubuntu 24 (noble) yet, but using the install script provided in the documentation works:

curl -sL https://aka.ms/InstallAzureCLIDeb | sudo bash

If you look carefully at the script though, you'll find it simply uses the jammy release for all Ubuntu distributions indiscriminately. Nevertheless, you can confirm this works by running this dockerfile:

FROM ubuntu:noble

RUN apt update && apt install -y curl

RUN curl -sL https://aka.ms/InstallAzureCLIDeb | bash

RUN az --version

Alternatively, you can follow the distribtuion-specific install instructions, but simply replace $(lsb_release -cs) simply with jammy.

Thanks for the help folks. I went with using a docker image while I wait for the CLI to be supported for 24.04.
