I'm trying to set up my development environment, and I need to use Azure Storage Emulator for my project. Currently I'm running the emu on a VM and my software connects to it.
Is there another way to do this?

    I've never work with it, but it sounds as something Microsoft's, and as you asked here, I guess it's not released for GNU/Linux, right? Then I think you have just two options: either a virtual machine, or WINE. – Hi-Angel Oct 29 '16 at 18:33
  • There's no Azure Storage Emulator for Linux. It comes with the Azure SDK. WINE doesn't work, because the SDK is asking for SQL Server 2012 LocalDB or later when I'm trying to install the SDK from the official MSI installer. – pushrbx Nov 01 '16 at 18:29
  • Did you try to install "SQL Server 2012 LocalDB or later" with WINE? Apps would connect to it through a socket, so as long as it works, it's fine. Just, make sure you have the latest WINE as it's a constantly evolving software, and in every minor release there're a bunch of changes and fixes. – Hi-Angel Nov 02 '16 at 03:12

There is no Azure Storage emulator for Linux and there will be none according to Microsoft response on this customer feedback.

They advise, however, using open-source alternative like Azurite.

Update 2022

Azurite has replaced the Azure Storage Emulator. See the documentation.

Azurite works, among others, on Ubuntu. From their official repository: "Based on Node.js, Azurite provides cross platform experiences for customers wanting to try Azure Storage easily in a local environment."
