Hi@akhtar,

For Linux distributions with yum such as RHEL, Fedora, or CentOS, there's a package for the Azure CLI. You need to create the yum repository for Azure CLI. You can follow the below-given steps.

• Import the Microsoft repository key.

$ sudo rpm --import https://packages.microsoft.com/keys/microsoft.asc

• Create local azure-cli repository information.

sudo sh -c 'echo -e "[azure-cli]
name=Azure CLI
baseurl=https://packages.microsoft.com/yumrepos/azure-cli
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=https://packages.microsoft.com/keys/microsoft.asc" > /etc/yum.repos.d/azure-cli.repo'

• Install with the yum install command.

$ sudo yum install azure-cli

• Now run the login command.

$ az login
