+3. **Deploying:** As with any Spark applications, `spark-submit` is used to launch your application.
+You need to package `spark-streaming-akka_{{site.SCALA_BINARY_VERSION}}` and its dependencies into
+the application JAR. Make sure `spark-core_{{site.SCALA_BINARY_VERSION}}` and `spark-streaming_{{site.SCALA_BINARY_VERSION}}`
+are marked as `provided` dependencies as those are already present in a Spark installation. Then
+use `spark-submit` to launch your application (see [Deploying section](streaming-programming-guide.html#deploying-applications) in the main programming guide).
Python API Since actors are available only in the Java and Scala libraries, AkkaUtils is not available in the Python API.
