In this post, we take a look at How to Install PySpark on Windows. Previously I have discussed how to [Install Spark into the windows](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ex1lHFG5B4g). And few weeks back I also discussed how to [setup the Hadoop on Windows](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2vjnYdbktY) too. So you have all the necessary steps  for you to follow. 

Now follow the steps below and make sure to install the Spark, Pyspark and the Hadoop in one installation instructions there. I'd recommend you to follow the steps along and then hopefully this would help you with successful setup.

Install Java, Setup and Validate Java
---


Download [java](https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/javase-jdk13-downloads.html), make sure to add the bin folder into the environment and then make sure to check out in the terminal. This should help you with the java setup that is required with the desktop for Windows. 

> java --version

This should show you the java version once you type in the command. It appears in the command line results as well. 

Next step is the environment variables. We are going to set things up for all. 

Environment Variables
---

So now that you have Java installed. You can check out the Spark homepage. Download the spark with the hadoop specific version of your choice. This would be downloaded and you can have the folders extracted into specific disk path of your choice. 

Now put the path into the environment variables. So here are some of the path that you should add up in environment variables. 

> JAVA_HOME
Path

You can even verify if those Environment Variables are added and tested. You can see that and verify them in your command line. In short if you can manage that it would be easier for you to work with the utils too. 


WINUTILS
---
Download the [winutils](https://github.com/steveloughran/winutils) and then make sure to add them to the respective path in the environment variables. I am sure this would take a bit of time but it can be easily added as well. Extract the content of the winutils into your spark, hadoop folders respectively. Then configure the variables. 

You can check out the environment variables below. 

> hadoop_home
Spark_home

Now make sure to install the python and also make sure to setup the pyspark. 

> pip install pyspark

Once you have the setup completed you are good to go and test out the pyspark in the command line which would make it easier for you to work. 

> pyspark



Once you get the pyspark prompt, now you can get the python and the spark commands there. So in order to check the content, you can also take visual clue, from here we are good to go with making our own ways for the code and the data in general. 

I hope by now you must have got an idea on how to setup the pyspark environment. Most likely the cloud deployment would be much better option for you if you want to get the hands down work in one click and some of the time you can also make sure to get the setup would properly there with the less manual setup headache.
