Remove the AzureRM PowerShell module
To install the Az PowerShell module, you must first remove the AzureRM module. You can check which version(s) of AzureRM you already have installed.
|
1 |
Get-InstalledModule -Name AzureRM -AllVersions |
If you see a message like the following, then you’re ready to install the Az PowerShell module.
PackageManagement\Get-Package : No match was found for the specified search criteria and module names 'AzureRM'.
If you don’t see that, then you need to uninstall AzureRM first.
|
1 |
Uninstall-Module AzureRM |
or
|
1 |
Uninstall-AzureRm |
If neither of those options work, try the following.
|
1 2 |
$versions = (Get-InstalledModule AzureRM -AllVersions | Select-Object Version) $versions | foreach { Uninstall-AllModules -TargetModule AzureRM -Version ($_.Version) -Force } |
Install the Azure PowerShell module
Then running the following code to install Az should succeed.
|
1 2 3 4 5 |
if (Get-Module -Name AzureRM -ListAvailable) { Write-Warning -Message 'Az module not installed. Having both the AzureRM and Az modules installed at the same time is not supported.' } else { Install-Module -Name Az -AllowClobber -Scope CurrentUser } |
Update the Azure PowerShell module
If you already have the Az PowerShell module installed, you can update it with the following code.
|
1 |
Update-Module -Name Az |
Reinstall the Azure PowerShell module
If you have any issues updating using PowershellGet, then you should reinstall, rather than update. Reinstalling is done the same way as installing, but you need to add the -Force parameter:
|
1 2 3 4 5 |
if (Get-Module -Name AzureRM -ListAvailable) { Write-Warning -Message 'Az module not installed. Having both the AzureRM and Az modules installed at the same time is not supported.' } else { Install-Module -Name Az -AllowClobber -Force } |
Check the version of the Azure PowerShell module
|
1 |
Get-InstalledModule -Name Az -AllVersions |
