The Azure Functions Core Tools provide a local development experience for creating, developing, testing, running, and debugging Azure Functions.
v1 (v1.x branch): Requires .NET 4.7.1 Windows Only
v2 (master branch): Self-contained cross-platform package
Both v1 and v2 of the runtime can be installed on Windows.
To install v1 with npm:
npm i -g azure-functions-core-tools
To install v1 with chocolatey:
choco install azure-functions-core-tools
To install v2 with npm:
npm i -g azure-functions-core-tools@core --unsafe-perm true
To install v2 with chocolatey:
choco install azure-functions-core-tools --pre
Homebrew:
brew tap azure/functions
brew install azure-functions-core-tools

Code and test Azure Functions locally
NOTE: npm can be used on all platforms. On unix platforms, you may need to specify --unsafe-perm if you are running npm with sudo. That's due to npm behavior of post install script.
NOTE: If you're running the v2 on Windows, Linux, or Mac, make sure to enable the beta runtime in function app settings, otherwise you may not see the same results as running locally.
Using the Core Tools, you can easily run Azure Functions on 1.7+ Kubernetes clusters. The Core Tools will build and push a Docker image of the function to a given registry and create corresponding Kubernetes objects including a Deployment, Service and Horizontal Pod Autoscaler.
First, make sure you init a Docker file.
func init --docker
func deploy --platform kubernetes --name myfunction --registry <docker-hub-id or registry-server>
func deploy --platform kubernetes --name myfunction --registry <docker-hub-id or registry-server> --min 3 --max 10
func deploy --platform kubernetes --name myfunction --registry <docker-hub-id or registry-server> --config /mypath/config
Azure Functions running on Kubernetes can take advantage of true serverless containers model by getting deployed to different providers of Virtual Kubelet, such as Azure Container Instances.
Functions deployed to Kubernetes already contain all the tolerations needed to be schedulable to Virtual Kubelet nodes. All you need to do is to set up VKubelet on your Kubernetes cluster:
Important note: Virtual Kubelet does not currently allow for Kubernetes Services to route external traffic to pods. This means that HTTP triggered functions will not receive traffic running on a VKubelet provider (including ACI).
A good usage scenario for using functions with VKubelet would be with event triggered / time triggered functions that do not rely on external HTTP traffic.
func extensions command require the dotnet cli to be installed and on your path. This requirement is tracked here. You can install .NET Core for your platform from https://www.microsoft.com/net/download/
