Build wheel file using one of the following modes:
Fat mode
Similar to fat jar in Java, this mode solves the problem when web access is not available to download resources having Url-paths (http/https). The command builds the tools jar file and downloads the necessary dependencies and packages them with the source code into a single wheel file. You may consider this mode if the development environment has no access to download dependencies (i.e., Spark jars) during runtime.
./build.sh fat
Default mode
This mode builds a wheel package without any jar dependencies
./build.sh
Finally, install the package using the wheel file
```
pip install <wheel-file>
```
