spark-shell：系统找不到指定的路径

Question

After I have installed an anaconda package, I can not start the Spark Shell anymore under Windows 7. Whenever I type spark-shell , the console answers with The system cannot find the path specified. The Spark Shell does not start of course.

I have the following echo %PATH% :

C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft MPI\\Bin\\;C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Common Files\\Intel\\Shared Files\\cpp\\bin\\Intel64;C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Intel\\iCLS Client\\;C:\\ProgramFiles\\Intel\\iCLS Client\\;C:\\windows\\system32;C:\\windows;C:\\windows\\System32\\Wbem;C:\\windows\\System32\\WindowsPowerShell\\v1.0\\;C:\\Program Files\\Intel\\Intel(R) Management Engine Components\\DAL;C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Intel\\Intel(R) Management Engine Components\\DAL;C:\\Program Files\\Intel\\Intel(R) Management Engine Components\\IPT;C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Intel\\Intel(R) Management Engine Components\\IPT;C:\\Program Files\\Lenovo\\Fingerprint Manager Pro\\;C:\\Program Files (x86)\\WinSCP\\;C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Lenovo\\Access Connections\\;C:\\Program Files\\MiKTeX 2.9\\miktex\\bin\\x64\\;C:\\Program Files\\PuTTY\\;C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Intel\\UCRT\\;C:\\Program Files\\Intel\\UCRT\\;C:\\Program Files\\Intel\\WiFi\\bin\\;C:\\Program Files\\Common Files\\Intel\\WirelessCommon\\;C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft SQL Server\\130\\Tools\\Binn\\;C:\\Program Files\\dotnet\\;C:\\Program Files\\A naconda3;C:\\Program Files\\Anaconda3\\Scripts;C:\\Program Files\\Anaconda3\\Library\\bin;C:\\Program Files (x86)\\GtkSharp\\2.12\\bin;C:\\Program Files\\Git\\cmd;C:\\Program Files\\TortoiseGit\\bin;C:\\Program Files\\TortoiseSVN\\bin;C:\\Program Files (x86)\\sbt\\bin;C:\\Program Files (x86)\\scala\\bin; C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Java\\jre1.8.0_144\\bin; C:\\Program Files\\Intel\\WiFi\\bin\\;C:\\Program Files\\Common Files\\Intel\\WirelessCommon\\;C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Graphviz2.38\\bin\\;C:\\Program Files (x86)\\sbt\\bin; C:\\Program Files (x86)\\scala\\bin;D:\\Spark\\bin;D:\\Hadoop\\bin

And the following echo %SPARK_HOME% :

D:\\Spark

And the following echo %JAVA_HOME% :

C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Java\\jre1.8.0_144

This is my java -version :

java version "1.8.0_144"

Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_144-b01)

Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 25.144-b01, mixed mode, sharing)

I have already tried to reinstall Java, but without any success. There is a similiar question here , but I don't see any wrong environment variables in my setup. So I have really no idea how to resolve this... Any thoughts?

After some testing I found out that when I cd into $SPARK_HOME$\\bin I can actually execute spark-shell . It exits with an error message:

\\Java\\jre1.8.0_144\\bin\\java was unexpected at this time.

This error arises when executing the last line "%~dp0spark-class2.cmd" %CLASS% %* of Spark\\bin\\spark-submit2.cmd .

UPDATE 1:

Changing the %JAVA_HOME% from "C:\\Program Files..." to "C:\\PROGRA~1..." indeed solved this issue in some parts: spark-shell now seems to start. However, there are a lot of Access denied errors:

UPDATE 2:

Running spark-shell as an administrator works! However, this might be very unsafe and I don't consider it a real solution.

Answer 1

make sure that you have set your JAVA_HOME and SBT_HOME correctly, I also add them to the Path variable as well to be on the safe side. To do this easily I could recommend "rapid environment editor", simple and nice tool for editing system variables. This approach made it work for me as I was getting the same problem as you are. An example would be:

JAVA_HOME set to C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jdk1.8.0_151

SBT_HOME set to C:\\Program Files (x86)\\sbt\\
