Technical requirements

You can find the code for this chapter in this GitHub repository: https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Data-Ingestion-with-Python-Cookbook.

Using Jupyter Notebook is not mandatory but can help you see how the code works interactively. Since we will execute Python and PySpark code, it can help us understand the scripts better. Once you have installed it, you can execute Jupyter using the following command:

$ jupyter notebook

It is recommended to create a separate folder to store the Python files or notebooks we will create in this chapter; however, feel free to organize them however suits you best.
