How to get started! #30

Open AM-DNEGEL opened 7 years ago

Would it be possible to add a Get Started section to the Read-me file. I mean this is a scientific library, and scientists usually jump from one framework to another to find what best suits them. So it is better to add this section to make their life easier. I have started using spark and scala couples of weeks ago and I want to use spark in a functional data analysis project. I passed by Spark TFOCS and I am not not sure how to get started (this library is not shipped with spark). After some research about sbt I figured it out. I downloaded the source code and attached it to my sbt project. It was simple but if it was here in the first place it would have saved me some time.

Hi AM-DNEGEL, thank you for trying out TFOCS for Spark. Since this is a free open source library we invite you to document the installation procedure you followed and submit a PR, as a resource for other interested developers.
