Perform the following steps on your laptop:

  1. Open https://labs.azure.com in your browser.
  2. Sign in using the credentials provided by an instructor
  3. Click "Skip for now (14 days until this is required)" (sometimes you need to click more than once)
  4. If the ZeroToHeroLabVM tile doesn't show "Running", click the toggle button showing "Stopped" to start the VM. Wait for a couple of minutes. Refresh the page, if the status doesn't change to "Running"
  5. If the ZeroToHeroLabVM tile shows "Running", click the icon next to the "Running" button to download an RDP file you will use to connect to your lab VM
  6. Log in to your lab VM as "labuser" using the password provided by the instructor

winget install microsoft.azurecli  # UAC is required
winget install microsoft.bicep
winget install git.git
winget install Microsoft.VisualStudioCode
winget install OpenJS.NodeJS.LTS # UAC is required

  2. Open the Power User menu (Win+X) and select Terminal again.
  3. Change default profile to be PowerShell instead of Windows PowerShell. (Settings > Startup > Default profile > PowerShell)
  4. Click Save and close Windows Terminal.
  5. Open Windows Terminal again. It should open PowerShell tab now.

Install Azure PowerShell from PowerShell Gallery

System requirements

Azure PowerShell works with PowerShell 5.1 or higher on Windows, or PowerShell 7 or higher on any platform. If you are using PowerShell 5 on Windows, you also need .NET Framework 4.7.2 installed.

# Install the Az module from the PowerShell Gallery
# Confirm the installation with "Y"
Install-Module -Name Az -Scope CurrentUser -AllowClobber -Verbose

While waiting for Azure PowerShell installation to finish, proceed with the installation of Visual Studio Code extensions.

Install Visual Studio Code extensions

Open another PowerShell tab. Run the following commands.

# Installation of the Visual Studio Code extensions from the command line
code --install-extension ms-vscode.powershell # PowerShell
code --install-extension ms-vscode.azurecli # Azure CLI Tools
code --install-extension ms-vscode.azure-account # Azure Account
code --install-extension msazurermtools.azurerm-vscode-tools # Azure Resource Manager (ARM) Tools
code --install-extension ms-azuretools.vscode-bicep # Bicep
