Install Azure Functions Core Tools on Linux

Log in to the Azure Portal using the username and password supplied by the lab.

1. Open a browser.
2. Navigate to the provided Azure Portal URL.
3. Use the supplied username and password to authenticate.

Starting in the Azure dashboard, perform the following tasks:

1. Open the navigation menu in the upper-left of the Portal.
2. Click on All resources.

Wait for the all resources list to appear.

In the list, click on the lab-VM resource.

Wait for the VM overview page to open. On that page, make note of the public IP address.

Open an SSH client. On Linux, try using Putty or a Bash terminal in Windows Subsystem for Linux. On Windows or Mac, just open a terminal window.

The following is for using command-line SSH. For Putty, consult how to connect using its documentation.

SSH into the VM using Putty or the terminal. In a terminal, the command is:

ssh cloud_user@<ip address of VM>

Accept the fingerprint of the certificate. When asked for a password, use Azure!Funcs!VM to log in.

Execute the following commands one-by-one on the Linux CLI:

sudo apt-get update -y
sudo apt-get upgrade -y
wget -q https://packages.microsoft.com/config/ubuntu/18.04/packages-microsoft-prod.deb -O packages-microsoft-prod.deb
sudo dpkg -i packages-microsoft-prod.deb
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https -y
sudo apt-get install dotnet-sdk-2.1 -y
sudo apt-get install azure-functions-core-tools -y

Execute the following command at the terminal:

If successful, it will show a bunch of output and the Azure Functions lightning bolt.
