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
