Hi I am running into trouble using iPython notebook on my cluster. Use the following command to set the cluster up
$ ./spark-ec2 --key-pair=$KEY_PAIR --identity-file=$KEY_FILE --region=$REGION --slaves=$NUM_SLAVES launch $CLUSTER_NAME On master I launch python as follows $ IPYTHON_OPTS="notebook --pylab inline --no-browser --port=7000" $SPARK_HOME/bin/pyspark It looks like the problem is the cluster is using an old version of python and python. Any idea how I can easily upgrade ? The following version works on my mac Thanks Andy {'commit_hash': '681fd77', 'commit_source': 'installation', 'default_encoding': 'UTF-8', 'ipython_path': '/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/IPython', 'ipython_version': '2.1.0', 'os_name': 'posix', 'platform': 'Darwin-13.3.0-x86_64-i386-64bit', 'sys_executable': '/usr/bin/python', 'sys_platform': 'darwin', 'sys_version': '2.7.5 (default, Mar 9 2014, 22:15:05) \n[GCC 4.2.1 Compatible Apple LLVM 5.0 (clang-500.0.68)]ยน}
