OS-Specific Prerequisites

NOTE: npm can be used on all platforms. On unix platforms, you may need to specify --unsafe-perm if you are running npm with sudo. That's due to npm behavior of post install script.

To install v1:

npm i -g azure-functions-core-tools@1

To install v2:

Mac

brew tap azure/functions
brew install azure-functions-core-tools

Language-Specific Prerequisites

Node

.NET

NOTE: The default experience for C# uses class libraries (*.cs files), which provide superior performance, scalability, and versatility over C# Scripts (*.csx files). If you want to use C# Scripts, you may change your azureFunctions.projectLanguage user setting to C#Script.

Java

Python

NOTE: Python 3.6.8 is the last release of Python 3.6 with installable binaries for Windows.

PowerShell

NOTE: Debugging PowerShell functions and placing breakpoints works differently than other languages for now. Take a look at the official guide for locally debugging PowerShell functions for complete steps.

Managing Azure Subscriptions

If you are not signed in to Azure, you will see a "Sign in to Azure..." link. Alternatively, you can select "View->Command Palette" in the VS Code menu, and search for "Azure: Sign In".

Sign in to Azure

If you don't have an Azure Account, you can sign up for one today for free and receive $200 in credits by selecting "Create a Free Azure Account..." or selecting "View->Command Palette" and searching for "Azure: Create an Account".

You may sign out of Azure by selecting "View->Command Palette" and searching for "Azure: Sign Out".

To select which subscriptions show up in the extension's explorer, click on the "Select Subscriptions..." button on any subscription node (indicated by a "filter" icon when you hover over it), or select "View->Command Palette" and search for "Azure: Select Subscriptions". Note that this selection affects all VS Code extensions that support the Azure Account and Sign-In extension.
