+# Building a Runnable Distribution
+
+To create a Spark distribution like those distributed by the
+[Spark Downloads](http://spark.apache.org/downloads.html) page, and that
is laid out so as
+to be runnable, use `make-distribution.sh` in the project root directory.
It can be configured
+with Maven profile settings and so on like the direct Maven build. Example:
+
+ ./make-distribution.sh --name custom-spark --tgz -Phadoop-2.4 -Pyarn
