title: How to run spark shell with *local* packages?
body: <p>The page here (<a href="http://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/programming-guide.html" rel="noreferrer">http://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/programming-guide.html</a>) indicates packages can be included when the shell is launched via:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$SPARK_HOME/bin/spark-shell --packages com.databricks:spark-csv_2.11:1.4.0
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What is the syntax for including local packages (that are downloaded manually say)? Something to do with Maven coords?</p>
