I had created a new file under (C:\Users\myusername.ipython\kernels\pyspark2.2) the following folder which I had created in order to install Apache Spark that will enable Pixiedust on Jupyter Notebook but that is also not working.
Referred the following link to create the below kernels.json file: https://github.com/pixiedust/pixiedust/wiki/Setup:-Install-and-Configure-pixiedust
"display_name": "pySpark (Spark 2.3.1) Python 3", "language": "python", "argv": [ "D:\Anaconda3\", "-m", "ipykernel", "-f", "{connection_file}" ], "env": { "SPARK_HOME": "D:\Pixiedust\bin\spark-2.3.1-bin-hadoop2.7\", "PYTHONPATH": "D:\Pixiedust\bin\spark-2.3.1-bin-hadoop2.7\python\:D:\Pixiedust\bin\spark-2.3.1-bin-hadoop2.7\python\lib\py4j-0.10.7-src.zip", "PYTHONSTARTUP": "D:\Pixiedust\bin\spark-2.3.1-bin-hadoop2.7\python\pyspark\shell.py", "PYSPARK_SUBMIT_ARGS": "--driver-class-path D:\Pixiedust\bin\spark-2.3.1-bin-hadoop2.7\data\mllib\* --master local[10] pyspark-shell", "SPARK_DRIVER_MEMORY":"10G", "SPARK_LOCAL_IP":"127.0.0.1" } }
