# Getting started with Bicep
NOTE
This documentation page is under construction. Improvements welcome!
Bicep is a domain-specific language (DSL) for deploying Azure resources declaratively. It aims to drastically simplify the authoring experience with a cleaner syntax, improved type safety, and better support for modularity and code re-use.
After downloading the zip file from NubesGen, extract the contents to a folder on your computer. The folder contains main.bicep which uses Bicep modules inside subfolders.
# Get started with the Azure CLI
The Azure CLI is a command-line tool that provides a convenient way to create and manage Azure resources. You can use the Azure CLI to deploy Bicep files.
- Install the Azure CLI (opens new window)
- Login to your Azure account by running
az login
# Deploy the resources
Run the following command to provision the resources in your Azure account:
az deployment sub create --template-file main.bicep --location eastus
If you just want to provision a single resource in an existing resource group, use a command of this form:
az deployment group create --resource-group resource-group-name-here --template-file modules/postgresql/postgresql.bicep
