| # Deploy to Azure using Azure Functions |
|
|
| This tutorial walks you through creating and deploying a JavaScript Azure Functions application using the [Azure Functions](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-azuretools.vscode-azurefunctions) extension. Create a new app, add functions and deploy in a matter of minutes from Visual Studio Code. |
|
|
| ## Prerequisites |
|
|
| You need [Visual Studio Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/) installed along with [Node.js and npm](https://nodejs.org/en/download), the Node.js package manager. |
|
|
| To enable local debugging, you need to install the [Azure Functions Core Tools](https://github.com/Azure/azure-functions-core-tools#installing). |
|
|
| **On macOS**, install using [Homebrew](https://brew.sh/). |
|
|
| ```bash |
| $ brew tap azure/functions |
| $ brew install azure-functions-core-tools |
| ``` |
|
|
| **On Windows**, install using [npm](https://npmjs.com). |
|
|
| ```bash |
| $ npm install -g azure-functions-core-tools@2 |
| ``` |
|
|
| **On Linux**, follow the instructions in the Azure Functions Core Tools [GitHub repository](https://github.com/Azure/azure-functions-core-tools#linux). |
|
|
| ## Install the extension |
|
|
| The Azure Functions extension is used to create, manage, and deploy Functions Apps on Azure. |

|
|
| ## Prerequisite check |
|
|
| Before we continue, ensure that you have all the prerequisites installed and configured. |
|
|
| In VS Code, you should see your Azure email address in the Status Bar and your subscription in the **AZURE FUNCTIONS** explorer. |
|
|
| Verify that you have the Azure Functions tools installed by opening a terminal (or PowerShell/Command Prompt) and running `func`. |
|
|
| ```bash |
| $ func |
