Required REST tooling

If you use the spark-submit.sh script or the Db2® Warehouse REST API to launch or manage your Apache Spark applications, you need to install additional software.

When using the spark-submit.sh script

The spark-submit.sh script is a command-line tool that is provided by Db2 Warehouse. This script uses cURL, which is an open source REST command-line tool that can be downloaded from the internet at no cost. If you use the spark-submit.sh script, cURL also must be installed. To check whether cURL is already installed, enter the command curl -V. If a version number is returned, cURL is already installed.

When using the Db2 Warehouse REST API

If you use this API, you must install a REST programming library for the programming language you will be using.
