Install Azure Sign Tool to local path - azure-devops

Question

I have a step in a simple yaml pipeline to install the Azure Sign Tool.
It installs it here but I do not have access /home/vsts/work/1/s.
Is there any way I can install the Azure Sign Tool to my local.
Maybe add a local path variable EF_BUILD_REPOSITORY_LOCAL and set it to my C:\temp folder?? Would that work?
- task: DotNetCoreCLI#2
inputs:
command: 'custom'
custom: 'tool'
arguments: 'install azuresigntool --tool-path $($env:EF_BUILD_REPOSITORY_LOCALPATH) -v diag'
displayName: Install AzureSignTool

Answer 1

I suppose you install the tool in order to use it in the subsequent steps of the pipeline. In this case, you can try installing it globally:
dotnet tool install --global AzureSignTool
In this case, you don't have to specify the tool path, and you can use it by specifying just the name later:
AzureSignTool sign ...

Answer 2

You can try like as the following steps.
steps:
- task: UseDotNet#2
displayName: 'Use .NET Core sdk'
inputs:
packageType: 'sdk'
- task: DotNetCoreCLI#2
displayName: 'Install AzureSignTool'
inputs:
command: custom
custom: tool
arguments: 'install -g azuresigntool -v diag'
In addition, it seems that Azure Sign Tool is only supported on Windows. We could install the tool on Linux or macOS, but not use it.
