APIM Samples Codespaces Quickstart

✅ What's ready for you

Your Codespace has automatically set up:

• Python virtual environment (.venv)
• Azure CLI
• All project dependencies
• VS Code extensions (still installing? Wait ~1 minute for the status bar to finish)

---

🎯 Next: Authenticate with Azure

Open a terminal and log in:

az login

Or, if you need to specify a tenant:

az login --tenant <your-tenant-id>

This is required before you can deploy any infrastructure or samples.

---

🚀 Ready to go?

Start with a sample

1. Open any notebook in infrastructure/ or samples/
2. If prompted, select the Python (.venv) kernel
3. Run the cells

Each folder has a README.md with full deployment steps.

Use the Developer CLI

bash start.sh

📋 If something isn't working

Issue	Solution
Virtual environment not active	New terminals auto-activate. If you see no (.venv) prefix, run: source .venv/bin/activate
Extensions not ready	Wait for VS Code status bar to stop spinning (~1 minute)
Need to verify setup	Run: python setup/verify_local_setup.py
Something else	Check .devcontainer/post-start-setup.sh for startup commands
