From 7b978c1ac59718b85e512c46105b6af641afc3dc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Patrick Wendell Date: Tue, 6 May 2014 12:07:46 -0700 Subject: Fix two download suggestions in the docs: 1) On the quick start page provide a direct link to the downloads (suggested by @pbailis). 2) On the index page, don't suggest users always have to build Spark, since many won't.

We will first introduce the API through Spark's interactive Scala shell (don't worry if you don't know Scala -- you will not need much for this), then show how to write standalone applications in Scala, Java, and Python. See the [programming guide](scala-programming-guide.html) for a more complete reference. -To follow along with this guide, you only need to have successfully built Spark on one machine. Simply go into your Spark directory and run: - -{% highlight bash %} -$ sbt/sbt assembly -{% endhighlight %} +To follow along with this guide, first download a packaged release of Spark from the +[Spark website](http://spark.apache.org/downloads.html). Since we won't be using HDFS, +you can download a package for any version of Hadoop. # Interactive Analysis with the Spark Shell -- cgit v1.2.3
