@sriniknms, did you close and reopen your terminal after installation? This generally fixes this issue.

@dbradish-microsoft it didn't help I have verified the behavior by ensuring that Path variable was not there before installing and after installing also it was not there. Once I added the snippet it was added and closing and re-opening the terminal was able to run the az command, else it will fail with command not recognized.
