Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I'm trying to install the az cli using the script approach (curl -L https://aka.ms/InstallAzureCli | bash) in an automated fashion. Unfortunately, the script prompts for a number of directories with no apparent way to provide those values via command line arguments or environment variables so the script can't run headless.
Describe the solution you'd like
Allow the INSTALL_DIR and BIN_DIR values to be provided either as command line arguments or environment variables.
Alternatively, if the CLI could be downloaded as a single binary instead of a python script that must be initialized that would be great.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Installing via a package manager is not viable in this case because 1) we don't have the necessary permissions on the system and 2) need to support a variety operating systems.
