Open C:\downloads\apache-cassandra-2.2.1\conf\cassandra.yaml:
Change the following default settings:
cluster_name: 'Test Cluster'
listen_address: localhost
rpc_address: localhost
- seeds: "127.0.0.1"
to:
cluster_name: 'Cluster101'
listen_address: 10.11.12.13
rpc_address: 10.11.12.13
â seeds: "10.11.12.13"
C:\downloads\apache-cassandra-2.2.1\bin> nodetool status
Starting NodeTool
Datacenter: datacenter1
========================
Status=Up/Down|/ State=Normal/Leaving/Joining/Moving
-- Address Load Tokens Owns Host ID Rack
UN 10.11.12.13 11.41 MB 256 ? 4571f3b-51807 rack1
As it can be seen that this Cassandra is running on 10.11.12.13 which can be accessed from outside.

Step 1. Get the Apache Cassandra
Go to: http://cassandra.apache.org/download/
Click on: apache-cassandra-2.2.1-bin.tar.gz
Use 7-zip to extract files into: C:\temp\apache-cassandra-2.2.1-bin.tar\
Use 7-zip to extract files into: C:\tmp\apache-cassandra-2.2.1-bin\
Move the folder to: C:\downloads\apache-cassandra-2.2.1
Step 2. Set the Cassandra environment
JAVA_HOME = C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_25
CASSANDRA_HOME = C:\downloads\apache-cassandra-2.2.1
PATH = C:\downloads\apache-cassandra-2.2.1\bin
Step 3. Start server
C:\downloads\apache-cassandra-2.2.1\bin>cassandra -f
Step 4. Check Server/node status
How do I know Cassandra is running or not?
C:\downloads\apache-cassandra-2.2.1\bin> nodetool status
Starting NodeTool
Datacenter: datacenter1
========================
Status=Up/Down|/ State=Normal/Leaving/Joining/Moving
-- Address Load Tokens Owns Host ID Rack
UN 127.0.0.1 11.41 MB 256 ? 4571f3b-51807 rack1
As it can be seen that the node is "Up" AND "Normal".
Step 5. Stop server
Simply by Ctrl+C
