python wheel cannot be installed as library.

[vk217]

When I try to install the python whl library, I get the below error. However I can install it as a jar and it works fine. One difference is that I am creating my own cluster by cloning an existing cluster and copying the whl to a folder called testing in dbfs.

Is it mandatory that the whl should be in dbfs:/FileStore/jars/ folder?

Library installation attempted on the driver node of cluster 0930-154215-fcm3m6pc and failed. Please refer to the following error message to fix the library or contact Databricks support. Error Code: DRIVER_LIBRARY_INSTALLATION_FAILURE.

@Vikas B​ : What DBR version you are using?

Could you please do

%sh

ls -l /dbfs/FileStore/shared_functions-1.0.0.0-py3-none-any.whl

from a notebook

[vk217]

@Sivaprasad C S​  This is what I get when I run that command.

-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20951 Oct 12 16:51 /dbfs/FileStore/shared_functions-1.0.0.0-py3-none-any.whl

I think you have - (dash) in some places and _ (low dash) in others. Please unify.

The issue was that the package was renamed after it was installed to the cluster and hence it was not recognized.
