NameError: name 'spark' is not defined

Closed this issue 7 years ago · 3 comments

Hi,
I have installed DFX Desktop and I was assuming that Spark will be installed along with it, but sounds I was wrong. Should I install Spark on my computer separately? And if I do, would that be working fine with DSX?

Thanks,
Asghar

@am8042 Have you installed Anaconda + Spark or one of the other Notebook images? Please can you go to the Settings -> General tab to find out what type of the Notebook image you've installed. You'll not need to install Spark separately. If you've one of the other non-spark images downloaded, you can uninstall just the notebook image and install the one that you're looking for.

Hi, Yes I have Anaconda (Python 2.7) installed there. But there is no Spark there.

@am8042 That's correct, this notebook image does not have Spark. Please follow the steps described above to uninstall the notebook image that you've, and install the Anaconda + Spark image instead.
