I'm new to PySpark and want to set it up and run a basic example. What Python versions are supported, and what is the primary method for installing PySpark? What are its key dependencies? Finally, provide the first code snippet from the 'Quickstart: DataFrame' section that shows how to create a DataFrame.
Navigate to 'https://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/api/python/index.html'. Click on the 'Getting Started' link (ID 33) in the left sidebar. Under the 'Installation' section, identify the supported Python versions. Under the 'Installation' section, identify the primary method recommended for installing PySpark (e.g., PyPI). Under the 'Installation' section, click on 'Dependencies' (ID 240) and list the key dependencies mentioned. Navigate back to the 'Getting Started' page if necessary and click on 'Quickstart: DataFrame' (ID 242). Locate and extract the first code snippet that demonstrates DataFrame creation. Synthesize all gathered information into a concise answer.
The agent successfully navigates to the 'Getting Started' page. The agent states that PySpark supports Python 3.8 and newer. The agent states that PySpark can be installed using PyPI (pip install pyspark). The agent lists 'Java 8 or newer' and 'Pandas 1.0.5 or newer' as key dependencies. The agent successfully navigates to the 'Quickstart: DataFrame' section. The agent provides the first code snippet for DataFrame creation, which starts with 'import pyspark' and creates a SparkSession.
