Use Azure CLI commands within VM

Question

I am writing a program that uploads a file to Azure blob storage, creates a virtual machine, and now I want to download and execute that file within the VM. For that I am trying to execute the command az storage blob download <parameters> in the VM, but unfortunately az is not recognized. How can I enable that the Azure CLI is (pre)installed on each new VM? Is there such a possibility provided by Azure? Or should I install the Azure CLI with yum for each VM within my script? Any information or ideas is highly appreciated, thank you.

You need to install the Azure CLI yourself. See the steps here. You can install it following the steps one by one, or put the commands inside a script and execute the script in the VM extension or cloud-init in the creation time.
