@wlami currently the AzureRM module is only available for desktop; if you are looking to use some of the AzureRM cmdlets on Linux, then you will want to install the AzureRM.Netcore module, which contains a subset of the cmdlets found in AzureRM (Compute, KeyVault, Network, Profile, Storage, Websites). In the future, we will be converting all of the modules in AzureRM to be NET Core compatible.

Okay, thank you very much!

Is this actual? I found this instruction: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/azure/install-azurermps-maclinux?view=azurermps-6.12.0

@fiftin Hey Denis, this issue predates our new Az module, which is the cross-platform module that we will be switching to in December. It replaced the AzureRM.Netcore module around August or September of this year, and will also be replacing the AzureRM module in December. The documentation is correct that you should be using the Az module 😀
