安装window版的 cassandra

Before you start installing  Cassandra, here are some prerequisites that you need.

• Windows 7 or Windows 2008 server
• Java
• Either the Firefox or Chrome web browser for DataStax OpsCenter (which does'nt support Internet Explorer yet). There is a dependency on the Visual C++ 2008 runtime (32bit), but windows 7 and windows 2008 Server R2 to be already installed. If you need it, then refer the link.     

Step 1 - Go to the official website to  download Cassandra. When you visit it, you will see that the  Cassandra releases will not be available for  Windows, so go to the third party distributions there you will find-

DataStax Distribution of Apache Cassandra which is available in  Linux rpm, deb, and tar packages, a windows  MSI installer and a  Mac OS Xbinary.
