+title: Tutorial - Running a Simple Spark Application
+---
+
+1. Create directory for spark demo:
+
+        ~$ mkdir SparkTest
+
+2. Copy the sbt files in ~/spark/sbt directory:
+
+        ~/SparkTest$ cp -r ../spark/sbt .
+
+3. Edit the ~/SparkTest/sbt/sbt file to look like this:
+
+        #!/bin/bash
+        java -Xmx800M -XX:MaxPermSize=150m -jar $(dirname $0)/sbt-launch-*.jar "$@"
+
+4. To build a Spark application, you need Spark and its dependencies in a single Java archive (JAR) file. Create this JAR in Spark's main directory with sbt as:
+
+        ~/spark$ sbt/sbt assembly
+
+5. create a source file in ~/SparkTest/src/main/scala directory:
+
+        ~/SparkTest/src/main/scala$ vi Test1.scala
+
+6. Make the contain of the Test1.scala file like this:
+
+        import spark.SparkContext
+        import spark.SparkContext._
+        object Test1 {
+          def main(args: Array[String]) {
+            val sc = new SparkContext("local", "SparkTest")
+            println(sc.parallelize(1 to 10).reduce(_ + _))
+            System.exit(0)
+          }
+        }
+
+7. Run the Test1.scala file:
+
+        ~/SparkTest$ sbt/sbt run
