Phase 1 - Prerequisites

Set up the prerequisites by following the steps below.

Install the following tools before getting started.

• PowerShell 7.4 (or newer): Follow the instructions for your operating system
• Azure CLI 2.55.0 (or newer): Follow the instructions for your operating system
• Git (any supported version): Follow the instructions for your operating system
• VSCode (not required, highly recommended): Follow the instructions for your operating system

Note

Ensure all tools are available from a PowerShell Core (pwsh) terminal. Add them to your environment path if needed.

You also need internet access to download tools, Terraform providers, and connect to Azure and your VCS.

We DO NOT explicitly support:

• Running behind a corporate proxy
• Running in Azure Cloud Shell

Tip

If your local machine is behind a corporate proxy, consider spinning up a temporary VM in Azure to run the Accelerator from, then tear it down when you are done. Alternatively, turn the VM off and retain it for future use/upgrades or tear down of the environment.

Follow the instructions in the Platform Subscriptions and Permissions section.

Choose GitHub, Azure DevOps, or Local File System and follow the relevant steps:

Follow the instructions in the Azure DevOps section.

Follow the instructions in the GitHub section.

Ensure you have a folder accessible from your current session.

Now head to Phase 2.
