Installation

Getting Spark on your machine takes about 30 seconds. You'll need Docker installed and running — that's the only requirement.

Install Spark

Run the installer

curl -fsSL https://get.spark.dev | sh

This downloads the latest spark binary for your platform and adds it to your PATH.

Verify it works

spark --version

You should see the version number. That's it — you're ready to write tests.

Docker is required. Spark runs your test services as Docker containers, so Docker (or Docker Desktop) must be installed and running. If docker ps works, you're good to go.
