title: Installing spark-avro
body: <p>I'm trying to read avro files in pyspark.
  Found out from <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/29759893/how-to-read-avro-file-in-pyspark">How to read Avro file in PySpark</a> that spark-avro is the best way to do that but I can't figure out how to install that from their <a href="https://github.com/databricks/spark-avro" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Github repo</a>. There's no downloadable jar, do I build it myself? How?</p>
  
  <p>It's Spark 1.6 (pyspark) running on a cluster. I didn't set it up so don't know much about the configs but I have sudo access so I guess I should be able to install stuff. But the machine doesn't have direct internet access so need to manually copy and install stuff to it.</p>
  
  <p>Thank you.</p>
