Quick guide to install Cassandra on linux. This guide will demonstrate the installation of Cassandra on both Centos and Ubuntu. Ubuntu version is at the lower part of the guide.
3 types of installation
- Through linux installation packages (rpm/yum)
- Through tarball
- Through container (kubernetes/docker)
Note: This guide will focus on cassandra installation from package management.
