Technical requirements

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

Using the Jupyter Notebook is not mandatory but allows us to explore the code interactively. Since we will execute both Python and PySpark code, Jupyter can help us to understand the scripts better. Once you have Jupyter installed, you can execute it using the following line:

$ jupyter notebook

It is recommended to create a separate folder to store the Python files or notebooks we will cover in this chapter; however, feel free to organize it in the most appropriate way for you.
