Answer 1

I have the same issue when trying to install Spark local with Windows 7. Please make sure the below paths is correct and I am sure I will work with you.

1. Create JAVA_HOME variable: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_181
2. Add the following part to your path: ;%JAVA_HOME%\bin
3. Create SPARK_HOME variable: C:\spark-2.3.0-bin-hadoop2.7
4. Add the following part to your path: ;%SPARK_HOME%\bin
5. The most important part Hadoop path should include bin file before winutils.ee as the following: C:\Hadoop\bin Sure you will locate winutils.exe inside this path.
6. Create HADOOP_HOME Variable: C:\Hadoop
7. Add the following part to your path: ;%HADOOP_HOME%\bin

Now you can run the cmd and write spark-shell it will work.

Your JAVA_HOME is set to JRE, please make sure you point it to your JDK folder (it should be located next to your the JRE)
