Maintaining Library/Packages on Azure Databricks via requirements.txt

Question

There is great documentation for installing packages 1-by-1 on azure databricks but not a way to do the equivalent of:

pip install -r requirements.txt

or to use the requirements file at all. Am managing a fairly large library and would like a simple process that allows to install all packages/libraries at once if possible!

Answer 1

The Databricks runtime >= 7.1 supports:

%pip install -r /dbfs/requirements.txt

Link to documentation.
