Steps for installing and configuring Azure Databricks CLI using cmd:

Step1: Install Python, you’ll need Python version 2.7.9 and above if you’re using Python 2 or Python 3.6 and above if you’re using Python 3.

Step2: Run pip install databricks-cli using the appropriate version of pip for your Python installation. If you are using Python 3, run pip3 install databricks-cli.

Step3: Setup authentication => To authenticate and access Databricks REST APIs, you use personal access tokens. Tokens are similar to passwords; you should treat them with care. Tokens expire and can be revoked.

• Click the user profile icon User Profile in the upper right corner of your Azure Databricks workspace.

• Click User Settings.

• Go to the Access Tokens tab.

• Click the Generate New Token button.
• Optionally enter a description (comment) and expiration period.

• Click the Generate button.
• Make sure to "Copy" the generated token and store in a secure location.

Step4: Copy the URL of databricks host "https://centralus.azuredatabricks.net/" and token which created earlier step.

Step5: In cmd run "dbfs configure --token" as shown below:

dbfs configure --token
Databricks Host (should begin with https://): https://centralus.azuredatabricks.net
Token: dapi72026dsfsdfsh987hjfiu431

Step6: Successfully configured Databricks CLI using CMD.

To verify try to run "databricks fs ls", check whether you are able to see the DBFS.
