Description

8.2.1.2. Linux/Bash
To install on Linux machines, you should refer to the commands of the respective package manager for its distribution. On Ubuntu, you can use the apt package manager:

$ apt install azure-cli -y

This is a problem. The most current version of azure cli is 2.28.01, and apt (even after updating/upgrading) installs 2.0.81. It's far enough behind that upgrading the usual way does not work! So you have to remove this, and then install it a different way as detailed here

Maybe the dotnet way works for ubuntu? I don't know... It's down at the bottom and wasn't even up on my screen yet so I didn't see it after dealing with my apt mess. Also no idea if powershell dls the correct version since I didn't try it.

Research direction

Review the Ubuntu 18.04 installation guidance in section 8.2.1.2, especially the apt command and the linked alternative installation instructions. Update the documented procedure so it reflects a supported Azure CLI installation path and clearly states what users should run; verify the surrounding Linux, .NET, and PowerShell guidance for consistency.
