title: install SPARK 2.1.1 on Windows 10
body: <p>I want to install Spark 2.1.1 on windows 10, I used a step by step guide mentioned in <a href="http://www.eaiesb.com/blogs/?p=334" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.eaiesb.com/blogs/?p=334</a></p>
  
  <p>I did all the steps, but when I come to the last part where I should run the spark-shell and I get the following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>C:\&gt;”spark\spark-2.1.1-bin-hadoop2.7\bin\spark-shell”
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I keep getting this </p>
  
  <pre><code>The system cannot find the path specified.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I am running this on Windows 10 machine on a virtual box.
  I didn’t have another partition (D is used in the site) so I set it to C:\spark where everything is there (i.e. Hadoop, Spark, and the tmp folders).
  UPDATE:/// I reinstalled Java and selected another folder with no spaces within its name, The message that am getting now is (The system cannot find the path specified) 
  The environment variables are :</p>
  
  <pre><code>JAVA_HOME ——&gt; C:\Java8\jdk1.8.0_131
  HADOOP_HOME —–&gt; C:\spark\Hadoop
  SPARK_HOME —-&gt; C:\spark\spark-2.1.1-bin-hadoop2.7
  </code></pre>
