How to run the notebooks from CERN SWAN Notebook Service

• Open SWAN and clone the repo:
  • note this can take a couple of minutes
  • as an alternative you can clone the repo from the SWAN GUI https://swan.web.cern.ch
    • find and click the button "Download project from git"
    • when prompted, clone the repo https://github.com/cerndb/SparkTraining.git
• Open the tutorial notebooks at SparkTraining -> notebooks

How to run the notebooks from private Jupyter installations or other notebook services (Colab, Binder, etc)

• pip install pyspark
• git clone https://github.com/cerndb/SparkTraining
  • or clone the image at https://gitlab.cern.ch/db/SparkTraining
• Start jupyter: jupyter-notebook
• Run the notebooks on Colab:
  • With this option you will need also to download the data folder and pip install pyspark
• Run on binder:
