pycharm: How do I import pyspark to pycharm

Question

I have done quite some spark job in Java/Scala, where I can run some test spark job directly from main() program, as long as I add the required spark jar in the maven pom.xml.

Now I am starting to work with pyspark. I am wondering if I could do something similar? For example, I am using pycharm to run a the wordCount job:

If I just run the main() program, I got the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Applications/PyCharm.app/Contents/helpers/profiler/run_profiler.py", line 145, in <module>
    profiler.run(file)
  File "/Applications/PyCharm.app/Contents/helpers/profiler/run_profiler.py", line 84, in run
    pydev_imports.execfile(file, globals, globals)  # execute the script
  File "/Users/edamame/PycharmProjects/myWordCount/myWordCount.py", line 6, in <module>
    from pyspark import SparkContext
ImportError: No module named pyspark

Process finished with exit code 1

I am wondering how do I import pyspark here? so I could run some test job from the main() program like I did in Java/Scala.

I also tried to edit the interpreter path:

Did I miss anything here? Thanks!

Solution 2

I added the py4j-x.x.x-src.zip and pyspark.zip under $SPARK_HOME/python/lib to the project structure (preferences > Project> Project Structure and then do "+ Add Content Root") and it worked fine.

PS: Pycharm already had $PYTHONPATH and $SPARK_HOME read from the os env, which was set in .bashrc/.bash_profile
