Experiencing Errors
Hi,
How can i remove cassandra and start all over again? (I am using UBUNTU)
I was following
thishttp://blog.evanweaver.com/articles/2009/07/06/up-and-running-with-cassandra/
then I was not able to run "cassandra_helper cassandra".
I always get command not found. I'm a total newbie hope you guys
understand. Thanks
Regards,
Raymond

Hi Raymond,
I have not used cassandra as a gem, but general practice is for a ruby
gem to clean up any binaries it brings with it. Does `sudo gem
uninstall cassandra` work (or at least return an error message)?

Why weren't you able to run it? What output did you get?
Like Curt says, you can just blow away $HOME/cassandra.

Is /var/bin/ in your path? cassandra_helper should be in there.
You never got as far as actually installing cassandra, because the gem
binary itself is not available.

Ok, but we are missing one thing here. The gem is installed, and
should work (at least from the output). 'cassandra_helper' is just
that, a helper that points to the Rakefile. So ignore it, and follow
those steps I posted for grabbing your own copy, start up Cassandra
and start using the gem like normal.
Basically at this point, see if things work without worrying about
'cassandra_helper'. As it is pretty much a wrapper script for those
steps.

Raymond, try running the following:
ls /usr/local/bin
whereis cassandra_helper
I don't have time right now to look at the code to see where it's
installed. Potentially it's in the $HOME/cassandra directory (look for
it there also).
If none of that works and you want to get Cassandra up and running, I
recommend the following (and the diagnosing the gem issue later):
mkdir $HOME/src; cd $HOME/src
svn co http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/cassandra/trunk cassandra-trunk
cd cassandra-trunk
ant test
ant
./bin/cassandra -f
That will get a server running for you. From there you can use the gem
install to play with the server (as it does look like it's installed
properly from your output).
Hope that helps.

Hi Curt,
I did install gem, cassandra is in $HOME/cassandra/server too.
still I get the 'command not found' message
Again I also ant test build it.

Did you install the gem? Did you receive any errors? The ruby gem puts
the source of cassandra into $HOME/cassandra/server. Is there anything
there?
Otherwise, just do it all manually by grabbing the source and 'ant
test build' (of course that's assuming your Java environment is
setup).
Hope that helps,
