Pertinent piece:

Error loading command module 'storage'

If 0.1.0b7 is the version number of the CLI, this is an incredibly old version.
Did you install with the instructions here?
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/install-azure-cli?view=azure-cli-latest#install-on-debianubuntu-with-apt-get

[rafmathijs]

the default ubuntu image comes with a hint to install the azure cli which installs the outdated version

@rafmathijs Can you provide more details for our own information?
I'm not aware of the above.

I believe this is only relevant for users running on Ubuntu Artful (17.10).

As a user, when you run az in the terminal, you are met with the following error:

><> az
The program 'az' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
sudo apt install azure-cli

Running the instructions as followed gives you v0.1.0.

We should probably get this apt repository removed if we are maintaining a separate apt repository for azure-cli builds.

For reference, this is a completely vanilla install of Artful:

><> apt list | grep azure-cli

WARNING: apt does not have a stable CLI interface. Use with caution in scripts.

And as @derekbekoe pointed out, following the instructions from https://docs.microsoft.com to add the Ubuntu Wheezy repository and install azure-cli worked like a charm. For others, that'd be

echo "deb [arch=amd64] https://packages.microsoft.com/repos/azure-cli/ wheezy main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/azure-cli.list
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver packages.microsoft.com --recv-keys 52E16F86FEE04B979B07E28DB02C46DF417A0893
sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install azure-cli

Thanks Derek! :)
