aqquire localhost.json from azufunction (powershell commands install failed and I found no az-command for cmd.exe) Any Solutions? - powershell

Question

I installed last year the powershell az core tools with big problems but got it working.
I used this 2 Commands to get the local.settings.json iwth actual values:
Connect-AzAccount -Tenant 'xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx' -SubscriptionId 'xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx'
func azure functionapp fetch-app-settings '<function-name>' --output-file local.settings.json
On installing the powershell core tools we spend a few hours and failed , so i tried to find similar command für standard command line (CMD.exe) but I found no similar command that worked so.
I found only this:
az login --tenant "xxxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxxx"
this sets the correct tenant and this worked.
I found additionally thsis commad to set the subscription but i got no response:
# change the active subscription using the subscription ID
az account set --subscription "xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx"
And I could request the config setting on screen with that command:
az functionapp config appsettings list --name MyFunctionApp --resource-group MyResourceGroup
But i found no way to create with the az command the local.setings.json and the file is in wrong format so piping it in a file will not work too.

Can anyone help me to get the file local.settings.json with actual config values with the az commands from standard windows shell.

Generally, local.settings.json file is ignored while publishing to Azure Function App as it is specified in the .gitignore file:
While publishing/deploying the function app, make sure to publish with the setting --publish-local-settings -i.
Syntax:
func azure functionapp publish <FunctionAppName> --publish-local-settings -i
Then, all the local.settings.json config values can be published and the values using the PowerShell cmdlet will be displayed:
Get-AzFunctionAppSetting -Name FunctionAppName -ResourceGroupName RGName | ConvertTo-Json | Out-File "local.settings.json"
OR use the same Az cmdlet to get the correct format of config settings defined in local.settings.json that are published to Azure function app.
to get the file local.settings.json with actual config values
Using az command for saving the published local.settings.json config values in a file:
az functionapp config appsettings list --name MyFunctionApp --resource-group MyResourceGroup --output json > local.settings.json
