Setting up your development environment

1. Install Python 3.6+ from http://python.org. Please note that the version of Python that comes preinstalled on OSX is 2.7.

2. Fork and clone the repository or repositories you wish to develop for.

   • For Azure CLI: https://github.com/Azure/azure-cli
   • For Azure CLI Extensions: https://github.com/Azure/azure-cli-extensions
   • Any other repository that you might have access to that contains CLI extensions.

3. Create a new virtual environment for Python in the root of your clone. You can do this by running:

   Python 3.6+ (all platforms):

   python -m venv env

   or

   python3 -m venv env

4. Activate the env virtual environment by running:

   Windows CMD.exe:

   env\Scripts\activate.bat

   Windows Powershell:

   env\Scripts\activate.ps1
   

   OSX/Linux (bash):

   source env/bin/activate

5. Install azdev by running: pip install azdev

6. Complete setup by running: azdev setup

This will launch the interactive setup process. To see non-interactive options run azdev setup -h.
