Azure-cli: Support installation on OSX with Homebrew

@haocs and @derekbekoe : For one of us to pick for November

[derekbekoe]

PR https://github.com/Azure/azure-cli/pull/1573 includes the Homebrew formula.

After the holiday season, we can create a PR to https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core to include the CLI in Hombrew.

Since the name 'azure-cli' is taken by xplat-cli, the formula currently uses the name 'azure-cli-2'.

[derekbekoe]

After discussions, changing milestone to Sprint 12.

I see there is a formula that seems ready to go at https://github.com/derekbekoe/homebrew-core/commit/c37b47ef58d886d3d69b253f23256186a6ab2d84

Would be really great to get this done soon. The current standard shell script installation (curl -L https://aka.ms/InstallAzureCli | bash) is not great, defaulting to ~/lib/azure-cli and ~/bin, as well as possibly reinstalling python & python libraries separate from the ones managed by homebrew (for an osx homebrew user).

Possibly blocked to due package dep. conflicts - https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/pull/13198#issuecomment-306312722

What's the latest on this? Seems no new progress was made:

> brew install azure-cli-2

Is this the current recommended way to install azure-cli v2 for macOS?

[tamird]

@derekbekoe is anyone working on this? should be possible to figure out these dependency issues, but doesn't seem like anyone has tried. Perhaps I'm misunderstanding.

[JasonRShaver]

I believe we are planning this work in the next sprint; we have some changes to packaging and extension support we need to land first. If anyone is capable of helping us with the Brew package, we would be thrilled to accept the help =)

[tjprescott]

It looks like @antoineco has code to accomplish this. It could be as simple as submitting a PR against our repo, pending review of course.

[tamird]

@tjprescott what do you mean? you guys probably want your formula to live in https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core, not here in this repo.

EDIT: which implies that you'll need to fix the packaging concerns raised by the homebrew maintainers.

[antoineco]

Indeed, I keep the aforementioned Tap up-to-date, but I'd also prefer to see this merged in Homebrew core.

[derekbekoe]

I have created https://github.com/Azure/azure-cli/pull/4313 to address https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/pull/13198#issuecomment-306312722 (This was blocking the Homebrew core PR).

Once merged and a new version of the CLI is released, there should be no more version conflicts and the commands below should return no errors:

pip install azure-cli homebrew-pypi-poet
poet -f azure-cli

After this, a PR to homebrew core will be created.

[derekbekoe]

The homebrew PR has been created - https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/pull/17344.

[derekbekoe]

Homebrew released.
brew update; brew install azure-cli
