Python -m pip install -upgrade pip. When I run this command, it just says the same thing. It apparently can't update itself because it's outdated. Is there any way to get around this, maybe by manually updating it? Thanks in advance, community! Update: The OS I'm using is currently Windows 10 and Python 3.6.4. If you are using macOS 10.9 or later, consider using the new installer variant, unless you are building Python applications that also need to work on older macOS systems. Binary extension modules (including wheels) built for earlier versions of 3.6.x with the 10.6 variant should continue to work with either 3.6.5 variant without recompilation.
-->For the macOS platform, you can install the Azure CLI with homebrew package manager. Homebrew makes it easy to keep yourinstallation of the CLI update to date. The CLI package has been tested on macOS versions 10.9 and later.
The current version of the Azure CLI is 2.21.0. For information about the latest release, see the release notes. To find your installed version and see if you need to update, run az version.
Install with Homebrew
Homebrew is the easiest way to manage your CLI install. It provides convenient ways to install, update, and uninstall.If you don't have homebrew available on your system, install homebrew before continuing.
You can install the CLI by updating your brew repository information, and then running the install
command:
Important
The Azure CLI has a dependency on the Homebrew python3
package, and will install it.The Azure CLI is guaranteed to be compatible with the latest version of python3
published on Homebrew.
You can then run the Azure CLI with the az
command. To sign in, use az login command.
Run the
login
command.If the CLI can open your default browser, it will do so and load an Azure sign-in page.
Otherwise, open a browser page at https://aka.ms/devicelogin and enter theauthorization code displayed in your terminal.
If no web browser is available or the web browser fails to open, use device code flow with az login --use-device-code.
Sign in with your account credentials in the browser.
To learn more about different authentication methods, see Sign in with Azure CLI.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter a problem when installing the CLI through Homebrew, here are some common errors. If you experience a problem not covered here, file an issue on github.
Completion is not working
The Homebrew formula of Azure CLI installs a completion file named az
in the Homebrew-managed completions directory (default location is /usr/local/etc/bash_completion.d/
). To enable completion, please follow Homebrew's instructions here.
Unable to find Python or installed packages
There may be a minor version mismatch or other issue during homebrew installation. The CLI doesn't use a Python virtual environment, so it relies on findingthe installed Python version. A possible fix is to install and relink the python3
dependency from Homebrew.
CLI version 1.x is installed
If an out-of-date version was installed, it could be because of a stale homebrew cache. Follow the update instructions.
Proxy blocks connection
You may be unable to get resources from Homebrew unless you have correctly configured it touse your proxy. Follow the Homebrew proxy configuration instructions.
Important
If you are behind a proxy, HTTP_PROXY
and HTTPS_PROXY
must be set to connect to Azure services with the CLI.If you are not using basic auth, it's recommended to export these variables in your .bashrc
file.Always follow your business' security policies and the requirements of your system administrator.
In order to get the bottle resources from Homebrew, your proxy needs to allow HTTPS connections tothe following addresses:
https://formulae.brew.sh
https://homebrew.bintray.com
Update
The CLI is regularly updated with bug fixes, improvements, new features, and preview functionality. A new release is available roughly everythree weeks.
The CLI provides an in-tool command to update to the latest version:
Note
The az upgrade
command was added in version 2.11.0 and will not work with versions prior to 2.11.0.
This command will also update all installed extensions by default. For more az upgrade
options, please refer to the command reference page.
You can also update your local Homebrew repository information and then upgrade the azure-cli
package.
Uninstall
If you decide to uninstall the Azure CLI, we're sorry to see you go. Before you uninstall, use the az feedback
command to let us knowwhat could be improved or fixed. Our goal is to make the Azure CLI bug-free and user-friendly. If you found a bug, we'd appreciate it if you file a GitHub issue.
Use homebrew to uninstall the azure-cli
package.
Other installation methods
If you can't use homebrew to install the Azure CLI in your environment, it's possible to use the manual instructions for Linux. Note thatthis process is not officially maintained to be compatible with macOS. Using a package manager such as Homebrew is always recommended. Only use the manualinstallation method if you have no other option available.
For the manual installation instructions, see Install Azure CLI on Linux manually.
Next Steps
Now that you've installed the Azure CLI, take a short tour of its features and common commands.
Release Date: March 28, 2018
Macos Update Python 2.7
Python 3.6.5 was the fifth maintenance release of Python 3.6.
There are now newer security-fix releases of Python 3.6 that supersede 3.6.5 and Python 3.8 is now the latest feature release of Python 3. Get the latest releases of 3.6.x and 3.8.x here. Python 3.6.8 is planned to be the last bugfix releasefor 3.6.x. Following the release of 3.6.8, we plan to provide security fixes for Python 3.6 as needed through 2021, five years following its initial release.
Among the new major new features in Python 3.6 were:
- PEP 468, Preserving Keyword Argument Order
- PEP 487, Simpler customization of class creation
- PEP 495, Local Time Disambiguation
- PEP 498, Literal String Formatting
- PEP 506, Adding A Secrets Module To The Standard Library
- PEP 509, Add a private version to dict
- PEP 515, Underscores in Numeric Literals
- PEP 519, Adding a file system path protocol
- PEP 520, Preserving Class Attribute Definition Order
- PEP 523, Adding a frame evaluation API to CPython
- PEP 524, Make os.urandom() blocking on Linux (during system startup)
- PEP 525, Asynchronous Generators (provisional)
- PEP 526, Syntax for Variable Annotations (provisional)
- PEP 528, Change Windows console encoding to UTF-8
- PEP 529, Change Windows filesystem encoding to UTF-8
- PEP 530, Asynchronous Comprehensions
Please see What’s New In Python 3.6 for more information.
- PEP 494, 3.6 Release Schedule
- Report bugs at https://bugs.python.org.
- Help fund Python and its community.
- The binaries for AMD64 will also work on processors that implement the Intel 64 architecture. (Also known as the 'x64' architecture, and formerly known as both 'EM64T' and 'x86-64'.)
- If installing Python 3.6 as a non-privileged user, you may need to escalate to administrator privileges to install an update to your C runtime libraries.
- There are now 'web-based' installers for Windows platforms; the installer will download the needed software components at installation time.
- There are redistributable zip files containing the Windows builds, making it easy to redistribute Python as part of another software package. Please see the documentation regarding Embedded Distribution for more information.
- NEW as of 3.6.5: we are providing two binary installer options for download. The new variant works on macOS 10.9 (Mavericks) and later systems and comes with its own batteries-included version oF Tcl/Tk 8.6 for users of IDLE and other tkinter-based GUI applications. It is 64-bit only as Apple is deprecating 32-bit support in future macOS releases. For 3.6.5, the 10.9+ variant is offered as an additional more modern alternative to the traditional 10.6+ variant in earlier 3.6.x releases. The 10.6+ variant still requires installing a third-party version of Tcl/Tk 8.5. If you are using macOS 10.9 or later, consider using the new installer variant, unless you are building Python applications that also need to work on older macOS systems. Binary extension modules (including wheels) built for earlier versions of 3.6.x with the 10.6 variant should continue to work with either 3.6.5 variant without recompilation.
- If you are using Python 3.6.5 from one of the python.org binary installers linked to on this page, please carefully read the Important Information displayed during installation; this information is also available after installation by clicking on /Applications/Python 3.6/ReadMe.rtf. There is important information there about changes in the 3.6 installer-supplied Python, particularly with regard to SSL certificate validation.
