Zeppelin and Spark installation on Ubuntu 24.04

To install the latest Zeppelin (I recommend 0.11.0, since 0.11.1 have bugs) and Spark 3.5.1, we need to do several steps

1. Required packages

sudo apt-get install openjdk-11-jdk build-essential 

Or you can install using previous java version if encountered with error

sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jdk-headless

2. Spark installation

wget -c https://dlcdn.apache.org/spark/spark-3.5.1/spark-3.5.1-bin-hadoop3.tgz

sudo tar -xvvf spark-3.5.1-bin-hadoop3.tgz -C /opt/

sudo mv /opt/spark-3.5.1-bin-hadoop3 /opt/spark

3. Zeppelin installation

wget -c https://downloads.apache.org/zeppelin/zeppelin-0.11.0/zeppelin-0.11.0-bin-all.tgz

sudo tar -xvvf zeppelin-0.11.0-bin-all.tgz -C /opt/

sudo mv /opt/zeppelin-0.11.0-bin-all /opt/zeppelin

4. Install MambaForge

wget -c https://github.com/conda-forge/miniforge/releases/download/24.1.2-0/Mambaforge-24.1.2-0-Linux-x86_64.sh

bash Mambaforge-24.1.2-0-Linux-x86_64.sh -b -p ~/anaconda3

~/anaconda3/bin/mamba init

source ~/.bashrc

mamba create -n test python=3.10

5. Run and Configure Zeppelin

sudo ./opt/zeppelin/bin/zeppelin-daemon.sh start

Then go to Interpreter settings (on top right menu) and search for Spark. Make adjustment

1. SPARK_HOME = /opt/spark
2. PYTHON = /home/dev/anaconda3/envs/test/bin/python
3. PYTHON_DRIVER = /home/dev/anaconda3/envs/test/bin/python

Now you done and enjoy using Zeppelin in your ubuntu!
