Connect-AzureRMAccount : The term 'Connect-AzureRMAccount' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program

I am stuck in a problem in Azure PowerShell. I am not able to connect to AzureRM account. It's showing this error:

Connect-AzureRMAccount : The term 'Connect-AzureRMAccount' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again. At line:1 char:1 + Connect-AzureRMAccount + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (Connect-AzureRMAccount:String) [], CommandNotFoundException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException

I'm doing this in Mac OS . Firstly I've installed the PowerShell using: brew cask install PowerShell. Then I've done the following:

  1. Install-Module AzureRM -AllowClobber -Scope CurrentUser.
  2. Install-Module Azure.
  3. Install-Module AzureRM.
  4. Import-Module AzureRM.
  5. Connect-AzureRMAccount (It's Showing me the above Error).

I am expecting step 5 to give me the sign in pop up. Please Help

The AzureRM module isn't available on macOS. You will need the Az module. It has tons of parity and an option for enabling compatible aliases (Enable-AzureRmAlias): https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/azure-powershell-cross-platform-az-module-replacing-azurerm/

Keep in mind that this module is the future, in general (Windows, macOS, and Linux... as well in Azure Cloud Shell).

The following cmdlets are useful:

Install-Module -Name Az -AllowClobber
Import-Module Az
Connect-AzAccount
