Cassandra is moving to a monthly release process called Tick-Tock. Even-numbered releases (e.g. 3.2) contain new features; odd-numbered releases (e.g. 3.3) contain bug fixes only. If a critical bug is found, a patch will be released against the most recent bug fix release. Read more about tick-tock here.

For older pre-tick-tock releases, the <release series>

Add the Apache repository of Cassandra to /etc/apt/sources.list.d/cassandra.sources.list
, for example for version 3.10:
echo "deb http://www.apache.org/dist/cassandra/debian 310x main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/cassandra.sources.list
curl https://www.apache.org/dist/cassandra/KEYS | sudo apt-key add -
sudo apt-get update
GPG error: http://www.apache.org 310x InRelease: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY A278B781FE4B2BDA
Then add the public key A278B781FE4B2BDA as follows:
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv-key A278B781FE4B2BDA
and repeat sudo apt-get update
. The actual key may be different, you get it from the error message itself. For a full list of Apache contributors public keys, you can refer to https://www.apache.org/dist/cassandra/KEYS.
sudo apt-get install cassandra
sudo service cassandra start
and stop it with sudo service cassandra stop
. However, normally the service will start automatically. For this reason be sure to stop it if you need to make any configuration changes.nodetool status
from the command line./etc/cassandra
./var/log/cassandra/
and /var/lib/cassandra
./etc/default/cassandra
