PySpark not starting No active sparkcontext

Question

Hi,
I am not able to start a pyspark session in edureka VM session.

I am using the command "pyspark"
Error Message is :

"Connection Refused: localhost/127.0.0.1:7077"
No active sparkcontext

I didn't get the spark logo at the end.
Can you help me in resolving it?

Seems like Spark hadoop daemons are not running. Start it first and then start pyspark. Refer to the below commands:

$ cd /usr/lib/spark-2.1.1-bin-hadoop2.7

$ cd sbin

$ ./start-all.sh

Hope this helps!
