Verify Prerequisites Before Starting

Verify Tool Installation

After installing each tool (covered in Azure Infrastructure Setup and CLI Configuration), run these commands once to confirm you're on a supported version:

docker --version          # supported: Docker >= 26.0
docker-compose --version  # supported: Docker Compose >= 2.25.0
az --version               # any current Azure CLI 2.x
aws --version               # any current AWS CLI v2.x
psql --version              # client only - server is Azure-managed, see Database Setup
df -h                      # confirm free disk space meets the specs in Virtual Machine Requirements

Expected Result: Each command prints a version string with no errors.

If a Command Fails: If you see "command not found," the tool is either not installed or not on your PATH. Go to Azure Infrastructure Setup and CLI Configuration and complete the installation steps for that tool.
