Feedback
I'm using python version 3.9.19 on RHEL9[Operating System: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.5 (Plow) Kernel: Linux 5.14.0-503.11.1.el9_5.x86_64].
Azure cli does not mention what rpms are needed on vanilla OS. Here vanilla OS is very basic RHEL OS setup. It fails with different errors.
I also tried to install python 3.12 but no luck.
Documentation needs to be robust what rpm are needed before we trigger az utility installation.
Microsoft docs also recommend to trigger rpm -ivh --nodeps azure-cli-*.rpm << This is wrong
Kindly correct https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/install-azure-cli-linux?view=azure-cli-latest&pivots=dnf and make it user friendly.
