Create a new system variable and name it as ‘ SPARK_HOME‘ and values as ‘ C:\SPARK\BIN‘.Similarly, create a new system variable and name it as ‘ HADOOP_HOME‘ and values as ‘ C:\winutils‘.Set the variable name as JAVA_HOME and values as ‘ C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_79\‘ ( I recommend to check your java version and add according).We will create two new system variables, So click on “New” button under System variable You will see the window divided into two parts, the upper part will read User variables for username and the lower part will read System variables.Under Start up & Recovery, Click on the button labelled as “Environment Variable”.Right click on Computer- Left click on Properties.If the Path variable is not properly setup, you will not be able to start the spark shell. Please un-zip the spark package and winutils.exe into “C” drive.Remember, Spark is a engine built over Hadoop. Actually, the official release of Hadoop 2.6 does not include the required binaries (like winutils.exe) which are required to run Hadoop.
#Install apache spark on windows 7 install#
#Install apache spark on windows 7 for mac#
That was disappointing to me as all the packages were for Mac (or) Linux OS. I was trying to get hands on Spark, But I could not find any installers to use in the window 7.

Apache Spark is a lightening fast cluster computing engine conducive for big data processing.
