Summary

In this chapter, you have seen many ways in which you can install Azure Bicep, from using integrated tools such as the Azure CLI and Azure PowerShell, to manually installing the Bicep CLI on Windows, macOS, and Linux. You have also been introduced to nightly builds if you want to stay ahead of others and get the advantage of new features and bus fixes that the team publishes every night. To finish off on a high note, we saw how you could use a Docker container to deploy Bicep files to your Azure environment.

In the next chapter, we will cover the authoring experience and what it feels like for developers when they want to write Bicep files, and then validate and deploy them from their local environment.
