How to link PyCharm with PySpark?
<p>I'm new with apache spark and apparently I installed apache-spark with homebrew in my macbook:</p>

<p>I would like start playing in order to learn more about MLlib. However, I use Pycharm to write scripts in python. The problem is: when I go to Pycharm and try to call pyspark, Pycharm can not found the module. I tried adding the path to Pycharm as follows:</p>

<p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/SCMrY.png" rel="noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/SCMrY.png" alt="cant link pycharm with spark"></a></p>

<p>Then from a <a href="http://renien.github.io/blog/accessing-pyspark-pycharm/" rel="noreferrer">blog</a> I tried this:</p>

<pre><code>import os
import sys

# Path for spark source folder
os.environ['SPARK_HOME']="/Users/user/Apps/spark-1.5.2-bin-hadoop2.4"

# Append pyspark  to Python Path
sys.path.append("/Users/user/Apps/spark-1.5.2-bin-hadoop2.4/python/pyspark")

try:
    from pyspark import SparkContext
    from pyspark import SparkConf
    print ("Successfully imported Spark Modules")

except ImportError as e:
    print ("Can not import Spark Modules", e)
    sys.exit(1)
</code></pre>

<p>And still can not start using PySpark with Pycharm, any idea of how to "link" PyCharm with apache-pyspark?.</p>

<p><strong>Update:</strong></p>

<p>Then I search for apache-spark and python path in order to set the environment variables of Pycharm:</p>

<p>apache-spark path:</p>

<pre><code>user@MacBook-Pro-User-2:~$ brew info apache-spark
apache-spark: stable 1.6.0, HEAD
Engine for large-scale data processing
https://spark.apache.org/
/usr/local/Cellar/apache-spark/1.5.1 (649 files, 302.9M) *
  Poured from bottle
From: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/blob/master/Library/Formula/apache-spark.rb
</code></pre>

<p>python path:</p>

<pre><code>user@MacBook-Pro-User-2:~$ brew info python
python: stable 2.7.11 (bottled), HEAD
Interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming language
https://www.python.org
/usr/local/Cellar/python/2.7.10_2 (4,965 files, 66.9M) *
</code></pre>

<p>Then with the above information I tried to set the environment variables as follows:</p>

<p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/TOsDo.png" rel="noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/TOsDo.png" alt="configuration 1"></a></p>

<p><strong>Any idea of how to correctly link Pycharm with pyspark?</strong></p>

<p>Then when I run a python script with the above configuration I have this exception:</p>

<pre><code>/usr/local/Cellar/python/2.7.10_2/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin/python2.7 /Users/user/PycharmProjects/spark_examples/test_1.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/user/PycharmProjects/spark_examples/test_1.py", line 1, in &lt;module&gt;
    from pyspark import SparkContext
ImportError: No module named pyspark
</code></pre>

<p><strong>UPDATE:</strong>
Then I tried this configurations proposed by @zero323 </p>

<p>Configuration 1:</p>

<pre><code>/usr/local/Cellar/apache-spark/1.5.1/ 
</code></pre>

<p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/i9dZu.png" rel="noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/i9dZu.png" alt="conf 1"></a></p>

<p>out:</p>
