Included the full path to cassandra.yaml (as a beginner I did not know where to look)

  ## Since there isn't currently an installation method per se, the easiest solution is to simply run Cassandra from an extracted archive or Git checkout (see: [[#picking_a_version|Picking a version]]). Also, unless you've downloaded a binary distribution, you'll need to compile the software by invoking `ant` from the top-level directory.
   
  === Step 2.1: Edit cassandra.yaml ===
- The distribution's sample configuration `conf/cassandra.yaml` contains reasonable defaults for single node operation, but you will need to make sure that the paths exist for '''data_file_directories''', '''commitlog_directory''', and '''saved_caches_directory'''.
+ The distribution's sample configuration `/etc/cassandra/conf/cassandra.yaml` contains reasonable defaults for single node operation, but you will need to make sure that the paths exist for '''data_file_directories''', '''commitlog_directory''', and '''saved_caches_directory'''.
  
  Verify '''storage_port''' and '''rpc_port''' are not conflict with other service on your computer.
  By default, Cassandra uses 7000 for storage_port, and 9160 for rpc_port. The `storage_port` must be identical between Cassandra nodes in a cluster. Cassandra client applications will use `rpc_port` to connect to Cassandra.
