Sign in to Lakemine
The installer’s first screen is a Lakemine sign-in. This is your Lakemine account, not your Databricks account. Databricks sign-in comes later, in the browser.
Installer, sign-in panel. The Lakemine wordmark, “Sign in to Lakemine” heading, empty email and password fields, the “Sign in” button, and the “Don’t have an account? Create one” switch beneath it.
Signing in
Enter the email and password for your Lakemine account and select Sign in.
Signing in does three things:
- Confirms your subscription is active. The installer refuses to deploy if it is not.
- Binds this install to your billing account, so the metering from its scans is attributed correctly.
- Issues the metering credential the install writes into your workspace’s
lakeminesecret scope.
There is no account id or license key to type anywhere in the installer. Identity comes from the session you sign in with, which is also what the subscription check and the metering credential are bound to. A field for it would only let the three drift apart.
Creating an account from the installer
If you do not have a Lakemine account yet, select Create one. The installer registers you through the same portal as lakemine.ai and starts a 14-day trial.
Sign-up asks you to confirm your password, because sign-up returns no session and the address needs confirming first. Without the confirmation field, a typo would surface much later as a failed sign-in with no obvious cause.
Installer, sign-in panel in sign-up mode. Email, password, and the visible “Confirm password” field, with the button reading “Create account”.
After signing up, confirm your email address from the message sent to you, then come back and sign in.
If sign-in fails
“Invalid credentials.” Check the email and password. If you signed up recently, make sure you have confirmed your email address first.
“Subscription is not active.” Renew at app.lakemine.ai , then reopen the installer. The installer will not deploy against an inactive subscription.
The address is one you no longer use. Sign in with the account you currently hold at Lakemine, or create a new one and move your installs across.
What happens next
Once signed in you land on Before you start, which lists the prerequisites and runs the local check for the Databricks CLI. From there, Get started takes you to the Databricks account link.
Two other paths open from this screen:
- Uninstall instead, which takes you through the same account and workspace linking and then removes Lakemine. See Uninstalling.
- Re-check, which re-runs the local prerequisite check after you install the Databricks CLI, without restarting the installer.
Installer, “Before you start” panel. The prerequisites list visible, the local checks list showing the Databricks CLI check passing, and the “Get started”, “Uninstall instead”, and “Re-check” buttons.
