 # Client Installation Guide
 
-## Hopsworks (including Feature Store and MLOps)
-The Hopsworks client library is required to connect to the Hopsworks Feature Store and MLOps services from your local machine or any other Python environment such as Google Colab or AWS Sagemaker. Execute the following command to install the full Hopsworks client library in your Python environment:
+## Hopsworks Python library 
+
+The Hopsworks Python client library is required to connect to Hopsworks from your local machine or any other Python environment such as Google Colab or AWS Sagemaker. Execute the following command to install the Hopsworks client library in your Python environment:
 
 !!! note "Virtual environment"
     It is recommended to use a virtual python environment instead of the system environment used by your operating system, in order to avoid any side effects regarding interfering dependencies.
 
-```bash
-pip install hopsworks
-```
-Supported versions of Python: 3.8, 3.9, 3.10, 3.11, 3.12 ([PyPI ↗](https://pypi.org/project/hopsworks/))
-
-!!! attention "OSX Installation"
-    Hopsworks latest version should work on OSX systems without any additional requirements. However if installing an older version of the Hopsworks SDK you might need to install `librdkafka` manually. Checkout the documentation for the specific version you are installing.
-
 !!! attention "Windows/Conda Installation"
 
     On Windows systems you might need to install twofish manually before installing hopsworks, if you don't have the Microsoft Visual C++ Build Tools installed. In that case, it is recommended to use a conda environment and run the following commands:
 
     ```bash
     conda install twofish
-    pip install hopsworks
+    pip install hopsworks[python]
     ```
 
-## Feature Store only
-To only install the Hopsworks Feature Store client library, execute the following command:
+```bash
+pip install hopsworks[python]
+```
+Supported versions of Python: 3.8, 3.9, 3.10, 3.11, 3.12 ([PyPI ↗](https://pypi.org/project/hopsworks/))
+
+### Profiles
+
+The Hopsworks library has several profiles that bring additional dependencies and enable additional functionalities:
+
+| Profile Name       | Description   |
+| ------------------ | ------------- |
+| No Profile         | This is the base installation. Supports interacting with the feature store metadata, model registry and deployments. It also supports reading and writing from the feature store from PySpark environments. |
+| `python`             | This profile enables reading and writing from/to the feature store from a Python environment |
+| `great-expectations` | This profile installs the [Great Expectations](https://greatexpectations.io/) Python library and enables data validation on feature pipelines |
+| `polars`             | This profile installs the [Polars](https://pola.rs/) library and enables reading and writing Polars DataFrames |
+
+You can install all the above profiles with the following command:
 
 ```bash
-pip install hsfs[python]
-# or if using zsh
-pip install 'hsfs[python]'
+pip install hopsworks[python,great-expectations,polars]
 ```
-Supported versions of Python: 3.8, 3.9, 3.10, 3.11, 3.12 ([PyPI ↗](https://pypi.org/project/hsfs/))
 
-!!! attention "OSX Installation"
-    Hopsworks latest version should work on OSX systems without any additional requirements. However if installing an older version of the Hopsworks SDK you might need to install `librdkafka` manually. Checkout the documentation for the specific version you are installing.
+## HSFS Java Library:
 
-!!! attention "Windows/Conda Installation"
+If you want to interact with the Hopsworks Feature Store from environments such as Spark, Flink or Beam, you can use the Hopsworks Feature Store (HSFS) Java library.
 
-    On Windows systems you might need to install twofish manually before installing hsfs, if you don't have the Microsoft Visual C++ Build Tools installed. In that case, it is recommended to use a conda environment and run the following commands:
-
-    ```bash
-    conda install twofish
-    pip install hsfs[python]
-    ```
+!!!note "Feature Store Only"
+
+    The Java library only allows interaction with the Feature Store component of the Hopsworks platform. Additionally each environment might restrict the supported API operation. You can see which API operation is supported by which environment [here](../fs/compute_engines)
+
+The HSFS library is available on the Hopsworks' Maven repository. If you are using Maven as build tool, you can add the following in your `pom.xml` file:
+
+```
+<repositories>
+    <repository>
+        <id>Hops</id>
+        <name>Hops Repository</name>
+        <url>https://archiva.hops.works/repository/Hops/</url>
+        <releases>
+            <enabled>true</enabled>
+        </releases>
+        <snapshots>
+            <enabled>true</enabled>
+        </snapshots>
+    </repository>
+</repositories>
+```
+
+The library has different builds targeting different environments: 
+
+### Spark
+
+The `artifactId` for the Spark build is `hsfs-spark-spark{spark.version}`, if you are using Maven as build tool, you can add the following dependency:
+
+```
+<dependency>
+    <groupId>com.logicalclocks</groupId>
+    <artifactId>hsfs-spark-spark3.1</artifactId>
+    <version>${hsfs.version}</version>
+</dependency>
+```
+
+Hopsworks provides builds for Spark 3.1, 3.3 and 3.5. The builds are also provided as JAR files which can be downloaded from [Hopsworks repository](https://repo.hops.works/master/hsfs)
+
+### Flink
+
+The `artifactId` for the Flink build is `hsfs-flink`, if you are using Maven as build tool, you can add the following dependency:
+
+```
+<dependency>
+    <groupId>com.logicalclocks</groupId>
+    <artifactId>hsfs-flink</artifactId>
+    <version>${hsfs.version}</version>
+</dependency>
+```
+
+### Beam
+
+The `artifactId` for the Beam build is `hsfs-beam`, if you are using Maven as build tool, you can add the following dependency:
+
+```
+<dependency>
+    <groupId>com.logicalclocks</groupId>
+    <artifactId>hsfs-beam</artifactId>
+    <version>${hsfs.version}</version>
+</dependency>
+```
 
 ## Next Steps
 
-If you are using a local python environment and want to connect to the Hopsworks Feature Store, you can follow the [Python Guide](../integrations/python.md#generate-an-api-key) section to create an API Key and to get started.

     To get started quickly, without saving the Hopsworks API in a secret storage, you can simply supply it as an argument when instantiating a connection:
-    ```python hl_lines="6"
-        import hsfs
-        conn = hsfs.connection(
-            host='my_instance',                 # DNS of your Feature Store instance

-
-Click on *Next: Permissions*, *Next:Tags*, and then *Next: Review*. Name the instance profile role and then click *Create role*.
-
-#### Step 2: Storing the API Key
-
-**Option 1: Using the AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store**
-
-In the AWS Management Console, ensure that your active region is the region you use for Databricks.
-Go to the *AWS Systems Manager* choose *Parameter Store* and select *Create Parameter*.
-As name enter `/hopsworks/role/[MY_DATABRICKS_ROLE]/type/api-key` replacing `[MY_DATABRICKS_ROLE]` with the name of the AWS role you have created in [Step 1](#step-1-create-an-instance-profile-to-attach-to-your-databricks-clusters). Select *Secure String* as type and create the parameter.

-
-
-Once the API Key is stored, you need to grant access to it from the AWS role that you have created in [Step 1](#step-1-create-an-instance-profile-to-attach-to-your-databricks-clusters).
-In the AWS Management Console, go to *IAM*, select *Roles* and then search for the role that you have created in [Step 1](#step-1-create-an-instance-profile-to-attach-to-your-databricks-clusters).
-Select *Add inline policy*. Choose *Systems Manager* as service, expand the *Read* access level and check *GetParameter*.
-Expand Resources and select *Add ARN*.
-Enter the region of the *Systems Manager* as well as the name of the parameter **WITHOUT the leading slash** e.g. *hopsworks/role/[MY_DATABRICKS_ROLE]/type/api-key* and click *Add*.
