Nowadays, there is an even simpler way to install PySpark on your machine, that is, by using pip.

pip is Python's package manager. If you installed Python 2.7.9 or Python 3.4 from http://python.org, then pip is already present on your machine (the same goes for our recommended Python distribution—Anaconda). If you do not have pip, you can easily install it from here:  https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installing/.

To install PySpark via pip, just issue the following command in the Terminal:

pip install pyspark

Or, if you use Python 3.4+, you may also try:

pip3 install pyspark

You should see the following screen in your Terminal:
