============
Installation
============
Official releases are available from the `Apache Spark website <https://spark.apache.org/downloads.html>`_.
Alternatively, you can install it via ``pip`` from PyPI. PyPI installation is usually for standalone
locally or as a client to connect to a cluster instead of setting a cluster up.
This page includes the instructions for installing PySpark by using pip, Conda, downloading manually, and building it from the source.
Python Version Supported
------------------------
Python 3.6 and above.
Using PyPI
----------
PySpark installation using `PyPI <https://pypi.org/project/pyspark/>`_
.. code-block:: bash
pip install pyspark
Using Conda
-----------
Conda is an open-source package management and environment management system which is a part of the `Anaconda <https://docs.continuum.io/anaconda/>`_ distribution. It is both cross-platform and language agnostic.
Conda can be used to create a virtual environment from terminal as shown below:
.. code-block:: bash
conda create -n pyspark_env
After the virtual environment is created, it should be visible under the list of Conda environments which can be seen using the following command:
.. code-block:: bash
conda env list
The newly created environment can be accessed using the following command:
.. code-block:: bash
conda activate pyspark_env
In Conda version earlier than 4.4, the following command should be used:
.. code-block:: bash
source activate pyspark_env
Refer to `Using PyPI <#using-pypi>`_ to install PySpark in the newly created environment.
Note that `PySpark at Conda <https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/pyspark>`_ is available but not necessarily synced with PySpark release cycle because it is maintained by the community separately.
Official Release Channel
------------------------
Different flavors of PySpark is available in the `official release channel <https://spark.apache.org/downloads.html>`_.
Any suitable version can be downloaded and extracted as below:
.. code-block:: bash
tar xzvf spark-3.0.0-bin-hadoop2.7.tgz
Ensure the `SPARK_HOME` environment variable points to the directory where the code has been extracted.
Define `PYTHONPATH` such that it can find the PySpark and Py4J under `SPARK_HOME/python/lib`.
One example of doing this is shown below:
.. code-block:: bash
cd spark-3.0.0-bin-hadoop2.7
export SPARK_HOME=`pwd`
export PYTHONPATH=$(ZIPS=("$SPARK_HOME"/python/lib/*.zip); IFS=:; echo "${ZIPS[*]}"):$PYTHONPATH
Installing from Source
----------------------
To install PySpark from source, refer to `Building Spark <https://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/building-spark.html>`_.
Refer to `Official Release Channel <#official-release-channel>`_ for steps to define ``PYTHONPATH``.
Dependencies
------------
============= ========================= ================
Package Minimum supported version Note
============= ========================= ================
`pandas` 0.23.2 Optional for SQL
