How to run Spark on Windows?

Question

Can anyone tell me how to run Spark on Windows?

Answer 1

Apache Spark can be installed on Windows using the following steps:

• Install JDK 8 and set the path variable ‘JAVA_HOME’ to it
• Download the latest stable version of Apache Spark, unzip it, and set the path variable ‘SPARK_HOME’ to it
• Download ‘winutils’ and set the path variable ‘HADOOP_HOME’ to it

Now, you can run your Spark jobs in the Windows command-line terminal.
