Please execute the following shell commands as a local Linux user to extract the Apache Spark binaries. In our case, we will be installing the Spark binaries into /opt:
> tar -xzf spark-2.3.2-bin-hadoop2.7.tgz -C /opt
The resultant Spark parent directory will have the following structure:
- bin: Shell scripts for local Spark services, such as spark-submit
- sbin: Shell scripts, including starting and stopping Spark services
- conf: Spark configuration files
- jars: Spark library dependencies
- python: Spark's Python API, called PySpark
- R: Spark's R API, called SparkR
