I'm trying to get started with pyspark, but having some trouble. I have python 3.10 installed and an M1 MacBook Pro. I installed pyspark using the command:
python3 -m pip install pyspark
This seemed to work okay.

Revision 5d45a415f3a29898d92380380cfd82bfc7f579ea
Url https://github.com/apache/spark
Type --help for more information.
I also installed Java from here: https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/downloads/
aaronwright ~ % java --version
java 17.0.1 2021-10-19 LTS
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 17.0.1+12-LTS-39)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 17.0.1+12-LTS-39, mixed mode, sharing)
Then tried running pyspark with the command:
pyspark
However I received a number of errors here.
Below is the output. Does anyone have any ideas? There may have a been a configuration step missed as this is the first time I've worked with spark. It could also be an incompatibility somewhere as I'm using a new Mac and new version of Python.

EDIT: To get this working, I needed to use Java 8:
brew install --cask homebrew/cask-versions/adoptopenjdk8
Then in my ~/.zshrc file added the line:
export JAVA_HOME='/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/adoptopenjdk-8.jdk/Contents/Home/'
