These tools are meant for use with Azure Stack Development Kit and Integrated Systems
Please follow the below instructions to make sure you are using the right version of AzureStack-Tools repo:
-
Tools for Azure Stack - ASDK or Integrated Systems running a build prior to 1901 can be found here https://github.com/Azure/AzureStack-Tools/releases/tag/PRE-1901
-
Tools for Azure Stack - ASDK or Integrated Systems running a build prior to 1811 can be found here https://github.com/Azure/AzureStack-Tools/releases/tag/PRE-1811
-
Tools for Azure Stack - ASDK or Integrated Systems running a build prior to 1804 can be found here https://github.com/Azure/AzureStack-Tools/releases/tag/PRE-1804
To use these tools, obtain Azure Stack compatible Azure PowerShell module. Unless you've installed from other sources, one way to do it is to obtain from public package repositories as follows. Note that both of these could still be used to operate against Azure as well as Azure Stack, but may lack some of the latest Azure features.
For PowerShell, install the following:
For Azure stack 1901 or later
Install-Module -Name AzureRM -RequiredVersion 2.4.0
Install-Module -Name AzureStack -RequiredVersion 1.7.0For all other azure stack versions, please follow the instructions at https://aka.ms/azspsh for the needed azure powershell
Obtain the tools by cloning the git repository.
# For Azure Stack builds/releases 1811 and later:
git clone https://github.com/Azure/AzureStack-Tools.git --recursive
