I found how to do this with py

Answer 1

Before installing pyspark you must install Java8. This is described at

• http://www.webupd8.org/2014/03/how-to-install-oracle-java-8-in-debian.html
• http://www.webupd8.org/2012/09/install-oracle-java-8-in-ubuntu-via-ppa.html

For a fully automatic installation of Java8 on Ubuntu do

$ apt-get update
$ apt-get -y install software-properties-common
$ add-apt-repository -y ppa:webupd8team/java
$ echo debconf shared/accepted-oracle-license-v1-1 select true | debconf-set-selections
$ echo debconf shared/accepted-oracle-license-v1-1 seen true | debconf-set-selections
$ apt-get update
$ apt-get -y install oracle-java8-installer

(see https://newfivefour.com/docker-java8-auto-install.html)

Afterwards you can simply run pip install pyspark.
