+	For Scala and Java applications, if you are using SBT or Maven for project management, then package `spark-streaming-flume_{{site.SCALA_BINARY_VERSION}}` and its dependencies into the application JAR. Make sure `spark-core_{{site.SCALA_BINARY_VERSION}}` and `spark-streaming_{{site.SCALA_BINARY_VERSION}}` are marked as `provided` dependencies as those are already present in a Spark installation. Then use `spark-submit` to launch your application (see [Deploying section](streaming-programming-guide.html#deploying-applications) in the main programming guide).
+
+	For Python applications which lack SBT/Maven project management, `spark-streaming-flume_{{site.SCALA_BINARY_VERSION}}` and its dependencies can be directly added to `spark-submit` using `--packages` (see [Application Submission Guide](submitting-applications.html)). That is,

 Instead of Flume pushing data directly to Spark Streaming, this approach runs a custom Flume sink that allows the following.
