Setup Development Environment on Windows for Spark Install

Setting up a development environment for Spark-based applications can be a daunting task, but with this step-by-step guide, you'll have everything set up in no time.

'Windows Spark Install'

To begin, create an account by clicking on the Sign-up button at the left top window. If you encounter any issues while setting up the environment, we recommend setting up Google Chrome as it is recommended to follow the process in detail.

Once you've confirmed the above details, you can proceed further. Open File Explorer and right-click on 'This PC' to get the following details:

* Operating System Version (32-bit or 64-bit)

* Memory Details

If your memory is less than 4GB, we do not recommend setting up the environment as it will lead to memory-related issues.

Before setting up the environment, let's have an understanding of the prerequisites. To run Spark-based applications using Python, you'll need:

1. Python installed on your system

2. P圜harm IDE installed on your system

3. Spark installed on your system

Now that we've covered the prerequisites, let's move on to setting up the development environment on Windows.

For this demo, we have used Windows 10 with a 64-bit version. If you're using an older version of Windows or a different operating system, please adjust accordingly.

Setup Python

First, install Python on your system if you haven't already done so. You can download the latest version from the official Python website.

Once installed, make sure to add Python to your system's PATH environment variable. This will allow you to run Python commands in your terminal or command prompt.

Setup P圜harm

Next, install P圜harm IDE on your system. You can download the latest version from the official P圜harm website.

Once installed, launch P圜harm and create a new project. Select 'Spark' as the project type and follow the prompts to set up your project.

Setup Spark

Finally, install Spark on your system if you haven't already done so. You can download the latest version from the official Apache Spark website.

Once installed, make sure to add Spark to your system's PATH environment variable. This will allow you to run Spark commands in your terminal or command prompt.

Validation

To validate whether your setup is progressing as expected, we recommend developing a few programs using P圜harm and Spark.

Click here to go to our state-of-the-art lab to practice Spark hands-on for a more realistic experience. Our training approach is certification-oriented.

In case you run into any issues, please log those in our forums. We'll also develop a few programs to validate whether our setup is progressing as expected or not.

By following these steps, you should now have a fully set up development environment on Windows for Spark-based applications using Python.
