Install GeoSpark-Zeppelin¶
Warning
Known issue: due to an issue in Leaflet JS, GeoSpark-core can only plot each geometry (point, line string and polygon) as a point on Zeppelin map. To enjoy the scalable and full-fleged visualization, please use GeoSparkViz to plot scatter plots and heat maps on Zeppelin map.

Apache Zeppelin 0.8.1+
GeoSpark 1.2.0+: GeoSpark-core, GeoSpark-SQL, GeoSpark-Viz
