Spark: Trying to run spark-shell, but get 'cmd' is not recognized as an internal or

Question

I\'m trying to install Spark on my Windows desktop. Everything should work fine, but I get an error \"\'cmd\' is not recognized as an internal or external command... \"

Answer 1

For my case I had similar issue. I had to fix a couple of things.

1- Check JAVA_HOME is correct on both places;

2- Then I had to change following lines in spark-2.1.1-bin-hadoop2.7\bin folder.

• Add extra quotation marks around "%RUNNER%". So it will be like ""%RUNNER%""
• Then execute .\spark-shell.cmd again.
