To execute this recipe, you will need a bash Terminal and an internet connection. Also, to follow through with this recipe, you will have to have already checked and/or installed all the required environments we went through in the previous recipe. In addition, you need to have administrative privileges (via the sudo command) which will be necessary to move the compiled binaries to the destination folder.
If you are not an administrator on your machine, you can call the script with the -ns (or --nosudo) parameter. The destination folder will then switch to your home directory and will create a spark folder within it. By default, the binaries will be moved to the /opt/spark folder and that's why you need administrative rights.
No other prerequisites are required.
