Introduction

Are you ready to delve into the exciting realm of Azure AI?

Whether you're a seasoned developer or just starting your journey in the world of artificial intelligence, Microsoft Build offers a transformative opportunity to harness the power of Azure AI.

Recently I came across several good tutorials on Microsoft website, e.g. "CLOUD SKILLS CHALLENGE: Microsoft Build: Build multimodal Generative AI experiences".

I enjoyed the learning on it. But I found out the very first step many people might seem as a challange: get az command work on Mac!

So I decided to write down all my fix.

Let's go!

Resolution

I am following up "Install Azure on Mac".

Run command:

brew update && brew install azure-cli

But it failed with permission issue on openssl package:

I fixed it by changing the permission of /usr/local/lib to current user, but it's not enough.

I hit Python permission issue at a different location:

So I had to apply the permission to /usr/local. So the command is:

brew unlink python@3.11
sudo chown -R "$USER":admin /usr/local/

The screenshot of brew unlink command:

Finally the azure-cli finished installation successfully!

Well done!
