Installation

• Download and install Java 1.8
  • To stay sane, some prefer to use JENV to manage different versions of Java: Recommended Blog
  • On a Mac you might install Java 1.8 with: brew cask install homebrew/cask-versions/zulu8
  • Add this new version to your JENV (on Mac): jenv add /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/zulu-8.jdk/Contents/Home/
• Determine which Java version you are using (See JENV above):
  • $ which java
  • /Users/<user>/.jenv/shims/java
• If you are not pointing to the proper version: jenv versions
• Chose the proper version: jenv local zulu64-1.8.x.x
• Set the JAVA_HOME environment variable. Examples:
  • export JAVA_HOME=$(/usr/libexec/java_home -v 1.8)
  • export JAVA_HOME=$(/Users/<user>/.jenv/shims/java -v 1.8)
• Get Spark 2.4.5: Download, unzip it and then set an environment variable: export SPARK_HOME=<SPARK_FOLDER>
• Clone the TransmogrifAI repo: git clone https://github.com/salesforce/TransmogrifAI.git
• Build the project: cd TransmogrifAI && ./gradlew compileTestScala installDist
