[Feature Request] Support `apt` installation on Kali Linux

[jiasli]

Kali Linux uses apt as package manager, but it doesn't use Debian or Ubuntu repo.

# cat /etc/os-release
PRETTY_NAME="Kali GNU/Linux Rolling"
NAME="Kali GNU/Linux"
ID=kali
VERSION="2021.2"
VERSION_ID="2021.2"

# lsb_release -cs

# lsb_release -is
Kali

The installation script https://aka.ms/InstallAzureCLIDeb doesn't work with Kali Linux:

https://github.com/Azure/azure-cli/blob/1fec5c4e721d2313e91c15a5ba542025759131d6/scripts/release/debian/deb_install.sh#L57-L71

When apt install azure-cli is run, it installs from Kali repo.

Description: Azure Command-Line Interface (CLI)
 The Azure command-line interface (CLI) is Microsoft's cross-platform
 command-line experience for managing Azure resources. The Azure CLI is designed
 to be easy to learn and get started with, but powerful enough to be a great
 tool for building custom automation to use Azure resources.
 .
 This package provides the az executable and bash completion.

This Azure CLI is not maintained by Microsoft and has various bugs.

Solution

On Kali Linux, please use pip to install official Azure CLI from PyPI: https://pypi.org/project/azure-cli/

ℹ We recommend installing the latest official pip to avoid unexcepted disruption: https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installation/#get-pip-py. Installing pip with apt install python3-pip will install the old pip 20.3.4.

# Install Python
apt update
apt install python3 python3-distutils

# Install official pip
apt install curl
curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py --output get-pip.py --silent
python3 get-pip.py

# Install official Azure CLI
pip install azure-cli
