MobaXtermAzureCLI

A simple wrapper for integrating AzureCLI in MobaXterm

Overview

As a former Linux Admin I like working with the Cygwin version from MobaXterm but unfortunately there is no AzureCLI integration for apt-cyg.

To enable AzureCLI in MobaXterm we can use the Windows Version of Azure CLI and execute it via cmd.exe from MobaXterm. This will extend the Windows AzureCLI to the capabilities of MobaXterm.

All you need is a simple wrapper script which will forward your shell commands directly to the AzureCLI python of the Windows installation.

Prerequisites

You need to have the following things installed on your system before proceeding:

• AzureCLI for Windows
• Any version of MobaXterm

Installation

Open MobaXterm and execute the following command in your MobaCygwin command prompt:

curl --insecure https://raw.githubusercontent.com/abeckDev/MobaXtermAzureCLI/master/install.sh | bash

After the installer finished you can use az directly from MobaXterm
