After installing Spark Notebook the cells do not run or show any output

[pradyumna16]

Hi,
I have installed spark notebook by following the instruction here: https://github.com/spark-notebook/spark-notebook/blob/master/docs/quick_start.md

The installations went well, but unfortunately the cells don't seem to show any results, I guess they are not running. Do I need to do some additional changes in the metadata or anyone knows how to make it work?

Check browser development console for logs/errors.

If you use windows there might be some extra issues, and its best to use docker in that case.

Hi, yes I am using windows at the moment. Maybe I should go for docker.

Can you download the Ubuntu application from the windows store? (If you aren’t already using). Also it’s really quite easy to build from source. Go get yourself a copy of (SBT), quick google of “install SBT on Ubuntu” and then just copy and paste into the console. Grab the full source code from this GitHub, then run it by doing running “sbt” (once you have unzipped and “cd” into the directory from the console) and once it loads type “run”. If you are going to be using Spark or Scala it is a good idea to learn a bit about SBT.
