I need cobrix package free in my account. How do I install it, as there is only 1 compute. Do I need to email admin? Also, I am not able open any support ticket for this

HI @PriyankaM1 ,

Assuming you're using Unity Catalog compute cluster with Dedicated access mode (formerly called single user), to install that library you need to:

- grab maven coordinates -> za.co.absa.cobrix:spark-cobol_2.13:2.8.4

- go to Compute section (1) in Databricks UI and click on your cluster name (2)

- once you're in your cluster setting, click libraries (3) and and install new (4)

- now, on install library screen select Maven (5), provide coordinates (6) and click install button (7)

- after some time you should see that library was installed successfully

But you're using serveless warehouse. In that case you can't install libraries on that type of compute. You have to use classic compute.

Moreover, the library you want to use requires scala. So you want to choose compute that supports Scala 2.13. For instance, to install that library I've used following classic compute :

@PriyankaM1 , are you using databricks free edition? If so, you won't be able to install that library. Free edition supports only serverless compute.
