databricks -v

The result for databricks -v is correct and shows you've installed CLI correctly. the fs ls command need a  DIR_PATH which is a directory of the folder you're trying to get the list of files from.

Thanks for the reply, when I install databricks cli in my windows, it was actually returning some directories even with databricks fs ls.

I installed in windows with pip. You think pip install different t from brew install in mac

I don't think. The format of ls cmd is "databricks fs ls DIR_PATH [flags]". If you try the  databricks fs ls -h, it shows you the info related to fs ls command.
