Download the latest release for your platform from here.
Unzip the CLI package
- Using your preferred tool, unzip the downloaded release. To unzip into an azure-functions-cli directory using the unzip tool, run this command from the directory containing the downloaded release zip:
unzip -d azure-functions-cli Azure.Functions.Cli.linux-x64.*.zip
Make the func command executable
- Zip files do not maintain the executable bit on binaries. So, you'll need to make the func binary, as well as gozip (used by func during packaging) executables. Assuming you used the instructions above to unzip:
```
cd azure-functions-cli
chmod +x func
chmod +x gozip
./func --version # Test the executable
```
Optionally add func to your $PATH
- To execute the func command without specifying the full path to the binary, add its directory to your $PATH environment variable. Assuming you're still following along from above:
```
export PATH=`pwd`:$PATH
func
```
