title: Using Spark Kernel on Jupyter
body: <p>So I am just starting out with Jupyter and the idea of notebooks. </p>
  
  <p>I usually program in VIM and terminal so I am still trying to figure out somethings.</p>
  
  <p>I am trying to use a Toree kernel.</p>
  
  <p>I am trying to install a kernel that is capable of executing spark and have come across Toree. I installed toree and it appears when I run kernel list. Here is the result:</p>
  
  <p><code>$ jupyter kernelspec list
  Available kernels:
    python3   C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Continuum\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\ipykernel\resources
    bash       C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\jupyter\kernels\bash
    toree      C:\ProgramData\jupyter\kernels\toree
  </code></p>
  
  <hr>
  
  <p>So when I open a toree notebook, the kernel dies and will not restart. Closing the notebook and reopening it results in the kernel changing to Python3.</p>
  
  <p>There is a large error message that gets printed to the host terminal and the notebook error message. There is another post that has been put on hold; they are the same error messages.</p>
  
  <p>I followed this page for the install:
  <a href="https://github.com/apache/incubator-toree" rel="noreferrer">https://github.com/apache/incubator-toree</a></p>
  
  <p>These instructions are mostly for Linux/Mac is appears.</p>
  
  <p>Any thoughts on how to get a spark notebook on Jupyter?</p>
  
  <p>I understand there is not a lot of information here, If more is needed. Let me know.</p>
