Install the Azure Functions Core Tools

Steps to install the Azure Functions Core Tools in Windows 10

Azure Functions Core Tools includes a version of the same runtime that powers Azure Functions runtime that you can run on your local development computer. It also provides commands to create functions, connect to Azure, and deploy function projects.

Prerequisites

  • A Microsoft Azure account.
  • Install either the Azure CLI or Azure PowerShell for authenticating with your Azure account to be able to publish to Azure from Azure Functions Core Tools.

Version 3.x and 2.x

Version 3.x/2.x of the tools uses the Azure Functions runtime that is built on .NET Core. This version is supported on all platforms .NET Core supports, including Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Note: You can bypass the requirement for installing the .NET Core SDK by using extension bundles. (Windows, macOS, Linux)

The following steps use a Windows installer (MSI) to install Core Tools v3.x. For more information about other package-based installers, which are required to install Core Tools v2.x, see the Core Tools readme.

Download and run the Core Tools installer, based on your version of Windows:
