Graphframes not importing on Databricks 9.1 LTS ML

[JonHMDavis]

Is Graphframes for python meant to be installed by default on Databricks 9.1 LTS ML? Previously I was running the attached python command on 7.3 LTS ML with no issue, however now I am getting "no module named graphframes" when trying to import the package, but I thought this came pre-installed with 9.1 LTS ML.

Hi @Jonathan Davis​,

Note:-By default, "graphframes" is not installed on the databricks.

You need to install the packages explicitly.

• You can install the package using pip cmdlets.
• You can use the below command to install any external package.

%sh /databricks/python3/bin/pip install <packagename>

Here is your case:-

%sh  /databricks/python3/bin/pip install graphframes

Thank you @Kaniz Fatma​  , I will do that. I was just asking as it states here that graphframes comes pre-installed: https://docs.databricks.com/spark/latest/graph-analysis/graphframes/index.html

Hi @Jonathan Davis​ , By default, "graphframes" is not installed on the databricks.

Hm I thought the same thing as the docs state "The GraphFrames package is included in Databricks Runtime for Machine Learning".

But that could have changed...
