How to install Tensorflow 1 based compute or packages in Databricks

I want to install Tensorflow 1 based packages along with python 3.7 etc.

I tried multiple ways including using a custom docker image. But nothing seems to work

Also I know that the minimum runtime version available in Databricks is 10.4

So is it possible to install any use Tensorflow 1 in the year 2025? Because as of this year lot of packages and compute runtime has been discarded due to the fact that those are legacy versions

@aswinkks

You're right to be cautious — as of 2025, using TensorFlow 1.x in modern environments like
Databricks has become increasingly difficult, if not practically unsupported, due to the combination of:
- Deprecation of Python 3.7
- TensorFlow 1.x being officially end-of-life
- Databricks Runtime 10.4 being the earliest supported version, and even that being deprecated in many workspac
