1> 下載Java jdk:
我這里用的是：jdk-7u17-linux-i586.tar.gz
PS：這個是需要登錄才能下載的，所以建議注冊后，登錄進去先下載到本地，然后再從本地計算機傳到VM上去。
2> 下載完成后，解壓jdk：
tar -zxvf jdk-7u17-linux-i586.tar.gz
3> 解壓完成后，配置環境變量：
vim /etc/profile
在打開的文件的末尾，增加如下代碼：
JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/jdk1.7.0_17
PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH CLASSPATH=.:$JAVA_HOME/lib/dt.jar:$JAVA_HOME/lib/tools.jar export JAVA_HOME export PATH export CLASSPATH
PS：只需將JAVA_HOME的路徑改一下即可，改成剛才解壓后jdk的目錄目錄即可，我的是把jdk壓縮包放在/usr/local目錄下了，然后直接
在這里解壓的，所以解壓后的包也就直接在該目錄下了【jdk1.7.0_17】,所以我這里JAVA_HOME的路徑為 "/usl/local/jdk1.7.0_17"
4> 上面的步驟執行完成后，執行下如下命令
source /etc/profile
或者重啟下linux ，配置才可生效
5> 執行完上面的步驟，下一步就是看一下java jdk是否安裝成功，執行下如下命令
java -version
我這里執行后，會輸出如下內容：
[root@localhost ~]# java -version java version "1.7.0_17" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_17-b02) Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 23.7-b01, mixed mode) [root@localhost ~]#
說明jdk安裝成功，這里的版本是1.7
支持jdk的安裝到此結束，下一步是cassandra的安裝
1> 下載Cassandra：
地址：http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi?path=/cassandra/1.2.4/apache-cassandra-1.2.4-src.tar.gz
我這里用的版本是：apache-cassandra-1.2.4-bin.tar.gz
2> 下載完成后，直接解壓：
tar -zxvf apache-cassandra-1.2.4-bin.tar.gz
解壓完成后，得到如下目錄：apache-cassandra-1.2.4
進入該目錄下的bin目錄，直接啟動Cassandra即可：
cd apache-cassandra-1.2.4/bin
./cassandra -f 【啟動cassandra】
啟動后，會輸出一大堆的代碼，如下，表明Cassandra啟動成功：
[root@localhost bin]# ./cassandra
