Prerequisites
This template wires the Databricks CLI on the developer's machine to a real workspace. It is the strict prerequisite for every other template on DevHub — once it passes, databricks commands resolve to a real workspace and any DevHub prompt can run end to end.
- A Databricks workspace you can sign in to. Have the workspace URL handy (e.g.
https://<workspace>.cloud.databricks.com); you will paste it intodatabricks auth loginin step 3. If you do not have access, ask your workspace admin. - A terminal on macOS, Windows, or Linux. All install paths run from a terminal session. On Windows, prefer WSL for the curl path; PowerShell and cmd work for
