+Whether you are using Mahout's Shell, running command line jobs or using it as a library to build your own apps 
+you'll need to setup several environment variables. 
 Edit your environment in ```~/.bash_profile`` `for Mac or ```~/.bashrc``` for many linux distributions. Add the following
 
     export MAHOUT_HOME=/path/to/mahout
     export MAHOUT_LOCAL=true # for running standalone on your dev machine, 
     # unset MAHOUT_LOCAL for running on a cluster 
 
+If you are running on Spark you will also need $SPARK_HOME

+Make sure to have $JAVA_HOME set also
