Installing Spark on Ubuntu

Question

Can someone help me with the steps for installing Spark on Ubuntu machine?

Answer 1

Hey. Follow these steps to install Spark on Ubuntu:

Go to this link and download Spark:

https://spark.apache.org/downloads.html

Then open terminal and extract the files:

$ cd Downloads

$ tar -xvf spark-2.3.3-bin-hadoop2.7.tgz

Now the Spark directory will be extracted.

Next, go to the bin directory in the spark directory:

$ cd spark-2.3.3-bin-hadoop2.7/bin/

And to start spark shell, run the following command:

$ ./spark-shell

This will start the Spark shell where you can run spark commands.

(You might get some warnings, ignore them.)
