Azure, Windows 8.1, Docker: az commands does not work in docker toolbox

Question

I did:

• install Azure/azure cli 2.0

• update Path

• install Docker toolbox to have ability to run "Docker quickstart terminal" under windows 8

Actual result: azure commands, like az acr, are normally running under cmd/powershell, but not running just in docker quickstart terminal:

$ az
bash: az: command not found

Expected result: I want to have ability to run "az" commands family just in docker toolbox ("Docker Quickstart Terminal") on windows 8.

How to achieve this?

Answer 1

The issue is because the azure cli 2.0 is installed in location, and this path isn't added to the PATH variable.

So you should add the PATH to windows Environment Variables -> Path.

Here is my path:

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

I found solution - using alias, e.g.

alias az='"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Azure\CLI2\python.exe" -Im azure.cli'

If You have better variants - please add. I will close question as answered in few days
