What it is
A 17-minute screen-recorded tutorial that walks through installing Apache Spark 2.2.0 with PySpark on Windows. It covers downloading the pieces and setting the HADOOP_HOME, JAVA_HOME, SCALA_HOME, SPARK_HOME and PySpark Python environment variables so Jupyter notebooks can launch Spark. Presented by Ardian Umam.

My problem was that i had installed pyspark using the pip command inside of the Jupyter notebook (since that had worked for all other packages, and seemed to install successfully). Apparently that doesn't install nearly all the things needed for pyspark to be fully functional. I installed it manually using this tutorial and everything works! [this video]

I know it might be late, but maybe this video helps you [this video] I had exactly the same issue, changed pathes, did everything but still got the same message. Then I decided to go his approach and it works

The main here of getting the error is due to the incorrect/incomplete path in the environment variable. You need to add path for java, spark, pyspark_python, hadoop(containing the bin folder).Most probably this solution can be resolved by adding right paths. [this video] ---- this video helped me in resolving my issue(video describes all the installation and correct paths)
