Originally the idea was to implement a blogging website using Cassandra, but the requirements changed so we changed to MySQL. I didn't want to loose my notes, and I thought it would be useful to share.
To try something new, this was created using the NOSQL database: Apache Cassandra. The following steps will outline how to install the requirements and package for Apache Cassandra. There were a lot of traps, so I hope someone enjoys the walkthrough.
