Introduction
Apache Cassandra is an open-source NoSQL distributed database engine. NoSQL database engines store data as key-value pairs, and Apache Cassandra comes with Cassandra Query Language (CQL) for retrieving the data. It can handle large amounts of data while ensuring availability and consistency. It supports single-node replication and multi-location replication for redundancy, no single point of failure, and disaster recovery. It runs several nodes within a cluster, where each single node can receive and process a complete request without communication to the master node.
This article explains how to install Apache Cassandra on Debian 11.0 server.
Prerequisites
Perform the following steps first:
- Deploy a Vultr Debian 11.0 Server.
- Connect to the server with SSH.
- Update the server.

$ sudo apt update
Install Apache Cassandra.
$ sudo apt install cassandra -y
Enable Apache Cassandra to start on system boot.
$ sudo systemctl enable cassandra
Check the status of the Apache Cassandra service.
$ sudo systemctl status cassandra
Check the status of your cluster. You might need to wait for a couple of seconds for all nodes in the cluster to finish starting up.
