Take your first steps with Spark ML and pyspark. Gain understanding of Spark ML with unique hands-on experience with the Spark ML First steps course!

Make sure you have docker installed on your device.

1. Run docker

2. Run the next command:

   docker run -it -p 8888:8888 jupyter/pyspark-notebook:spark-2 This will download the image of juypter notebook with Apache Spark 2.4.5 version

   You will get similar response back:

   Executing the command: jupyter notebook
    [I 15:49:48.293 NotebookApp] Writing notebook server cookie secret to /home/jovyan/.local/share/jupyter/runtime/notebook_cookie_secret
    [I 15:49:48.887 NotebookApp] JupyterLab extension loaded from /opt/conda/lib/python3.7/site-packages/jupyterlab
    [I 15:49:48.888 NotebookApp] JupyterLab application directory is /opt/conda/share/jupyter/lab
    [I 15:49:48.891 NotebookApp] Serving notebooks from local directory: /home/jovyan
    [I 15:49:48.891 NotebookApp] The Jupyter Notebook is running at:
    [I 15:49:48.891 NotebookApp] http://0a3437183fee:8888/?token=43143a485357351ef522a1840f8c8c141a1be2bcf5f9b4de
    [I 15:49:48.892 NotebookApp]  or http://127.0.0.1:8888/?token=43143a485357351ef522a1840f8c8c141a1be2bcf5f9b4de
    [I 15:49:48.892 NotebookApp] Use Control-C to stop this server and shut down all kernels (twice to skip confirmation).
    [C 15:49:48.896 NotebookApp]
    To access the notebook, open this file in a browser:
        file:///home/jovyan/.local/share/jupyter/runtime/nbserver-8-open.html
    Or copy and paste one of these URLs:
        http://0a3437183fee:8888/?token=43143a485357351ef522a1840f8c8c141a1be2bcf5f9b4de
     or http://127.0.0.1:8888/?token=43143a485357351ef522a1840f8c8c141a1be2bcf5f9b4de

   Getting an error about AMD? You can leverage this image: docker run -p 8888:8888 sakuraiyuta/pyspark-notebook

   Note! with this image, you are running Spark 3.1.1 that has slightly different Spark API support. You will need to search the web for exceptions when those show up. We will be working on a 3.1.1 tutorial version soon. Thank you, and apologies for any inconvenience.

3. Copy the LAST url with the token= , it will looks something like this, but you will have your own token:

http://127.0.0.1:8888/?token=43143a485357351ef522a1840f8c8c141a1be2bcf5f9b4de

past it in your browser. This will be your jupyter work environment for the course.

4. Clone this repo or download the zipped files - notebook.zip and detecting-twitter-bot-data.zip

5. Extracte the files(unzip) and upload the Exercise, Solution and detecting-twitter-bot-data files into Jupyter using the upload button. Use the upload button like in the photo:

6. Follow instructions and write your findings in chat!

Exercise folder containes the exercise chapters. Solution folder containes the solution for the exercise.

It's recommend to have both in your Jupyter environment before course starts.
