The almighty bin folder

Open up a File Explorer window and head over to the bin folder.  The default location for this folder on a 64-bit Windows machine is C:\Program Files (x86)\DataStax Community\apache-cassandra\bin.  A bunch of important files are here, including the cassandra-cli.bat file, which runs the CLI client, and the cqlsh Python script, which runs the Cassandra Query Language (CQL) Shell.

Double-click the cassandra-cli.bat file to load the CLI client now.

  • How Do You Keep It All Up-To-Date?

    Having to run a separate GUI installer for every single package sounds like a scalability nightmare. Including your DBMS, Web server, load balancer, memory cache, scripting languages, scripting language add-ons, Web server add-ons, library dependencies ... that could easily mount up to hundreds of separate installers, which means hundreds of separate updates needing to be managed. On a Linux system, keeping it all-to-date involves little more than typing "apt-get update && apt-get upgrade".
