Hi @unity_Catalog

  • The error message suggests that you need to install a Python package.
  • To do this, open your terminal or command prompt and run:
    pip install databricks
    This should resolve the missing module issue.
  • Ensure that you are in the correct virtual environment where you intend to install UCX.
  • Verify that the Python interpreter you’re using matches the one specified in your virtual environment.

Before installing UCX, upgrade pip within your virtual environment:

pip install --upgrade pip
  • Once you’ve installed the required package and upgraded pip, try installing UCX again using:
pip install databricks.labs.ucx.install
