Requirements

• Python Version > 2.7.9 or > 3.6

Installation

To install simply run pip install --upgrade databricks-cli

Then set up authentication using username/password or authentication token. Credentials are stored at ~/.databrickscfg.

• databricks configure (enter hostname/username/password at prompt)

• databricks configure --token (enter hostname/auth-token at prompt)

Multiple connection profiles are also supported with databricks configure --profile <profile> [--token]. The connection profile can be used as such: databricks workspace ls --profile <profile>.

To test that your authentication information is working, try a quick test like databricks workspace ls.

Known Issues

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'PROTOCOL_TLSv1_2'

The Databricks web service requires clients speak TLSV1.2. The built in version of Python for MacOS does not have this version of TLS built in.

To use the Databricks CLI you must install a version of Python that has ssl.PROTOCOL_TLSv1_2. For MacOS, the easiest way may be to install Python with Homebrew.
