Apr 17, 2018 Install Jupyter notebook $ pip install jupyter. Install PySpark. Make sure you have Java 8 or higher installed on your computer. Of course, you will also need Python (I recommend Python 3.5 from Anaconda). Now visit the Spark downloads page.Select the latest Spark release, a prebuilt package for Hadoop, and download it directly.

I just faced the same issue, but it turned out that
pip install pyspark
downloads spark distirbution that works well in local mode. Pip just doesn't set appropriate SPARK_HOME
. But when I set this manually, pyspark works like a charm (without downloading any additional packages).Hope that helps :-)

Pyspark from PyPi (i.e. installed with
pip
) does not contain the full Pyspark functionality; it is only intended for use with a Spark installation in an already existing cluster [EDIT: or in local mode only - see accepted answer]. From the docs:The Python packaging for Spark is not intended to replace all of the other use cases. This Python packaged version of Spark is suitable for interacting with an existing cluster (be it Spark standalone, YARN, or Mesos) - but does not contain the tools required to setup your own standalone Spark cluster. You can download the full version of Spark from the Apache Spark downloads page.
NOTE: If you are using this with a Spark standalone cluster you must ensure that the version (including minor version) matches or you may experience odd errors
You should download a full Spark distribution as described here.
