title: Running Spark-Shell on Windows
body: <p>I have downloaded spark, sbt, scala, and git onto my Windows computer. When I try and run spark-shell in my command prompt, I get "Failed to find Spark assembly JAR. You need to build Spark with sbt\sbt assembly before running this program." </p>
  
  <p>I tried to follow this guide: <a href="https://x86x64.wordpress.com/2015/04/29/installing-spark-on-windows/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://x86x64.wordpress.com/2015/04/29/installing-spark-on-windows/</a> ,but I don't have a build subfolder so I am not sure if that is the problem.</p>
  
  <p>Any help would be appreciated.</p>
