In particular, you will need to add two settings to your bash profile: SPARK_HOME and PYSPARK_SUBMIT_ARGS. SPARK_HOME is the directory where the software is installed. PYSPARK_SUBMIT_ARGS sets the number of cores to use in the local cluster.

Mac installation

To install, we download the latest TGZ file from the Spark download page at https://spark.apache.org/downloads.html, unpack the TGZ file, and move the unpacked directory to our Applications folder.
