The Az PowerShell module is a rollup module. Installing the Az PowerShell module downloads the generally available modules and makes their cmdlets available for use.

The recommended installation method and PowerShell version for the Az PowerShell module:

Installation and update

The MSI package for Azure PowerShell is available from GitHub:

  1. Visit github.com/Azure/azure-powershell/releases
  2. Locate the most recent Az PowerShell module. They are listed chronologically with no name. For example, 9.5.0
  3. Scroll down to the end of the patch notes and click the arrow next to "Assets" to reveal the MSI options.

The installer automatically removes older versions of the Az PowerShell module that were installed using an MSI. The MSI package installs modules in "${env:ProgramFiles}\WindowsPowerShell\Modules"
