Here we'll show you how to install Spark 3.2.1 for MacOS. We tested it on MacOS Monterey 12.0.1, but it should work for other MacOS versions as well
Ensure Brew and Java installed in your system:
xcode-select --install
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install.sh)"
brew install java
Add the following environment variables to your .bash_profile
or .zshrc
:
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/Cellar/openjdk@11/11.0.12
export PATH="$JAVA_HOME/bin/:$PATH"
Make sure Java was installed to /usr/local/Cellar/openjdk@11/11.0.12
: Open Finder > Press Cmd+Shift+G > paste "/usr/local/Cellar/openjdk@11/11.0.12". If you can't find it, then change the path location to appropriate path on your machine. You can also run brew info java
to check where java was installed on your machine.
if you are having anaconda setup, you can skip the spark installation and instead Pyspark package to run the spark. With Anaconda and Mac we can spark set by first installing pyspark and then for environment variable set up findspark
Open Anaconda Activate the environment where you want to apply these changes
Run pyspark and install it as a package in this environment
Run findspark and install it as a package in this environment
Ensure that open JDK is already set up. This allows us to not have to install Spark separately and manually set up the environment Also with this we may have to use Jupyter Lab (instead of Jupyter Notebook) to open a Jupyter notebook for running the programs. Once the Spark is set up start the conda environment and open Jupyter Lab. Run the program below in notebook to check everything is running fine.
import pyspark
from pyspark.sql import SparkSession
!spark-shell --version
# Create SparkSession
spark = SparkSession.builder.master("local[1]") \
.appName('test-spark') \
.getOrCreate()
print(f'The PySpark {spark.version} version is running...')
- Install Scala
brew install scala@2.11
- Install Apache Spark
brew install apache-spark
- Add environment variables:
Add the following environment variables to your .bash_profile
or .zshrc
. Replace the path to SPARK_HOME
to the path on your own host. Run brew info apache-spark
to get this.
export SPARK_HOME=/usr/local/Cellar/apache-spark/3.2.1/libexec
export PATH="$SPARK_HOME/bin/:$PATH"
Execute spark-shell
and run the following in scala:
val data = 1 to 10000
val distData = sc.parallelize(data)
distData.filter(_ < 10).collect()
It's the same for all platforms. Go to pyspark.md.
