# Manual Set Up of a Spark Cluster

This page describes how to set up a Spark cluster on your infrastructure and to use it to perform a migration.

1. Follow the [official documentation](https://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/spark-standalone.html) to install Spark on each node of your cluster, and start the Spark master and the Spark workers.
2. In the Spark master node, download the latest release of the Migrator.
   ```bash
   wget https://github.com/scylladb/scylla-migrator/releases/latest/download/scylla-migrator-assembly.jar
   ```

   Alternatively, [download a specific release of scylla-migrator-assembly.jar](https://github.com/scylladb/scylla-migrator/releases).
3. In the Spark master node, copy the file `config.yaml.example` from our Git repository.
   ```bash
   wget https://github.com/scylladb/scylla-migrator/raw/master/config.yaml.example \
     --output-document=config.yaml
   ```
4. [Configure the migration](./#configure-the-migration) according to your needs.
5. Finally, run the migration as follows from the Spark master node.
   ```bash
   spark-submit --class com.scylladb.migrator.Migrator \
     --master spark://<spark-master-hostname>:7077 \
     --conf spark.scylla.config=<path to config.yaml> \
     <... other arguments> \
     <path to scylla-migrator-assembly.jar>
   ```

   See a complete description of the expected arguments to `spark-submit` in page [Run the Migration](https://migrator.docs.scylladb.com/branch-1.0.x/run-the-migration.md), and replace “<spark-master-hostname>”, “<… other arguments>”, and “<path to scylla-migrator-assembly.jar>” above with appropriate values.
6. You can monitor progress from the [Spark web UI](https://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/spark-standalone.html#monitoring-and-logging).
