It sounds like maybe SPARK_HOME is not set. Run the Terminal app to get a command prompt and check with: ECHO $SPARK_HOME

If the result does not list the directory where you installed Spark, then there's advice here:
What to set `SPARK_HOME` to?

In R, or R Studio you can set SPARK_HOME from within R like this:

spark_path <- '/path_to_spark/spark_dir'
Sys.setenv("SPARK_HOME" = spark_path)

you also need to add the SparkR library location in R:

spark_lib <- paste(spark_path, "/R/lib", sep="")
