# Validate the Spark Environment

## Validate the Spark Environment

After validating the backend repository, you must check that the Spark analytics machine is running properly.

1. Go to $SPARK\_HOME/sbin, and make sure Spark is running.

   ```
   $ start-master.sh
   ```

2. Check the status.

   ```
   $ jps
   ```

3. Check that Spark UI is available on port 8080 on the master server. For troubleshooting, refer to [\[install-guide:\]](#install-guide:).

4. Check if all zoran z-scripts/files exist within the directory: `/opt/zoran/python-3.6/bin/`.
