Azure PowerShell alias

I see many answers to questions about Azure where the answer is you have to execute a series of commands like these:

azure vm image list-publishers westus
azure vm image list-offers westus MicrosoftWindowsServer 
azure vm image list-skus westus MicrosoftWindowsServer WindowsServer

from Service Fabric Application vmImageSku

This is just one random example out of many.

How do you translate statements like that into command that works?

I feel I am missing some step in my configuration of my environment. I have just started a normal powershell console and are working in that. I have not imported anything azure specific into the console but have Visual Studio 2017 and latest azure sdk installed on the box.

Those commands are not Azure PowerShell commands. As Martin said, to run those commands, you should install CLI 1.0. We can use Azure PowerShell commands to get those information:

azure vm image list-publishers westus

Get-AzureRmVMImagePublisher -Location westus

azure vm image list-offers westus MicrosoftWindowsServer

Get-AzureRmVMImageOffer -Location westus -PublisherName MicrosoftWindowsServer

azure vm image list-skus westus MicrosoftWindowsServer WindowsServer

Get-AzureRmVMImageSku -Location westus -PublisherName MicrosoftWindowsServer -Offer WindowsServer

You have to install the azure cli:

Note that there is already a version 2 of the CLI which uses the az keyword which you might prefer.
