What is the right way to edit spark-env.sh before running spark-shell?
<p>I am running spark on my local windows machine. I am able to start spark shell successfully.</p>

<p>I want to edit the spark-env.sh file residing in conf/ folder. What is the right way to add values to the spark-env.sh file. </p>

<p>E.g If I want to add value to SPARK_EXECUTOR_MEMORY variable how to do it?
Am getting confused between different answers that are available 
1. SPARK_EXECUTOR_MEMORY="2G"
2. export </p>
