How to Install and Run PySpark in Jupyter Notebook on Windows
When I write PySpark code, I use Jupyter notebook to test my code before submitting a job on the cluster. In this post, I will show you how to install and run PySpark locally in Jupyter Notebook on Windows. I’ve tested this guide on a dozen Windows 7 and 10 PCs in different languages.
A. Items needed
- Spark distribution from spark.apache.orgspark.apache.org
- Python and Jupyter Notebook. You can get both by installing the Python 3.x version of [Anaconda distribution.]
- winutils.exe — a Hadoop binary for Windows — from Steve Loughran’s GitHub repo. Go to the corresponding Hadoop version in the Spark distribution and find winutils.exe under /bin. For example,
https://github.com/steveloughran/winutils/blob/master/hadoop-2.7.1/bin/winutils.exe
- The findspark Python module, which can be installed by running python -m pip install findspark either in Windows command prompt or Git bash if Python is installed in item 2. You can find command prompt by searching cmd in the search box.
- If you don’t have Java or your Java version is 7.x or less, download and install Java from Oracle. I recommend getting the latest JDK (current version 9.0.1).
- If you don’t know how to unpack a .tgz file on Windows, you can download and install 7-zip on Windows to unpack the .tgz file from Spark distribution in item 1 by right-clicking on the file icon and select 7-zip > Extract Here.
B. Installing PySpark
After getting all the items in section A, let’s set up PySpark.
Unpack the .tgz file. For example, I unpacked with 7zip from step A6 and put mine under D:\spark\spark-2.2.1-bin-hadoop2.7
Move the winutils.exe downloaded from step A3 to the \bin folder of Spark distribution. For example, D:\spark\spark-2.2.1-bin-hadoop2.7\bin\winutils.exe
Add environment variables: the environment variables let Windows find where the files are when we start the PySpark kernel. You can find the environment variable settings by putting “environ…” in the search box.
The variables to add are, in my example,
| Name |
Value |
| SPARK_HOME |
D:\spark\spark-2.2.1-bin-hadoop2.7 |
| HADOOP_HOME |
D:\spark\spark-2.2.1-bin-hadoop2.7 |
| PYSPARK_DRIVER_PYTHON |
jupyter |
| PYSPARK_DRIVER_PYTHON_OPTS |
notebook |
In the same environment variable settings window, look for the Path or PATH variable, click edit and add D:\spark\spark-2.2.1-bin-hadoop2.7\bin to it. In Windows 7 you need to separate the values in Path with a semicolon ; between the values.
(Optional, if see Java related error in step C) Find the installed Java JDK folder from step A5, for example, D:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_121, and add the following environment variable
| Name |
Value |
| JAVA_HOME |
D:\Progra~1\Java\jdk1.8.0_121 |
If JDK is installed under \Program Files (x86), then replace the Progra~1 part by Progra~2 instead. In my experience, this error only occurs in Windows 7, and I think it’s because Spark couldn’t parse the space in the folder name.

C. Running PySpark in Jupyter Notebook
To run Jupyter notebook, open Windows command prompt or Git Bash and run jupyter notebook. If you use Anaconda Navigator to open Jupyter Notebook instead, you might see a Java gateway process exited before sending the driver its port number error from PySpark in step C. Fall back to Windows cmd if it happens.
Once inside Jupyter notebook, open a Python 3 notebook
In the notebook, run the following code
import findspark
findspark.init()
import pyspark # only run after findspark.init()
from pyspark.sql import SparkSession
spark = SparkSession.builder.getOrCreate()
df = spark.sql('''select 'spark' as hello ''')
df.show()
When you press run, it might trigger a Windows firewall pop-up. I pressed cancel on the pop-up as blocking the connection doesn’t affect PySpark.
If you see the following output, then you have
installed PySpark on your Windows system!
