Setup Resources

  • Download Scala 2.10.x

  • Download Apache Spark 1.6 (Prebuild with Hadoop)

  • Scala Install

Setup

Make sure you have the Java 7 or Java 8 SDK installed for your platform (Mac, Linux or Windows).   Then you’ll need to download Scala 2.10.x, SBT and then Spark.   I also recommend downloading Maven. 

Solving Local Spark Issues

export SPARK_MASTER_IP=127.0.0.1
export SPARK_LOCAL_IP=127.0.0.1
export SCALA_HOME=~/Downloads/scala-2.10.6
export PATH=$PATH:$SCALA_HOME/bin

For Windows, use SET instead of EXPORT and ; and not :.
