Unzip: not found error while trying to install the Databricks CLI

Question

I am trying to download the Databricks CLI from this documentation through WSL2. I am connecting to WSL2 via the command prompt. When I run

sudo curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/databricks/setup-cli/main/install.sh | sh

I get the error

sh: 77: unzip: not found

Is there any other way of downloading the CLI for WSL2? Git Bash is not an option for me unfortunately, due to fatal errors on downstream use cases. Are my proxy settings potentially screwed up? Should I be using powershell instead of command prompt, or does that not matter for WSL2? I am using the Windows Terminal software for both powershell and command prompt.

Answer 1

Figured it out! Turns out my new, clean install of WSL2 was missing the unzip utility. First I ran

sudo apt update

and then I ran

sudo apt install unzip

and afterwards I ran the install code again, and it worked!
