Spark Install
Budget: $2 – $8 USD
install the sparklyr library and a Spark cluster on your local machine. The instructions in the book contemplate that you will be using Windows. If you are not running Windows, use a virtual machine. If you are using your employer's equipment, you may enounter a trusted domain error. This will also require that you install a virtual machine. The code in the book assumes Spark version 2.3 and Java 8. You are free to use any version, of course, but the code may not run and you may have to modify it . Be sure to set your system to be using Java 8. You can use the Sys.setenv() function to set JAVA_HOME with the path to jre1.8.0_291 (the latest release of Java 8)
