Matt Davis commented on CASSANDRA-15889:
----------------------------------------
[~mck], no issues installing the deb package from the tarball on m5/amd64 or
m6g/arm64 AWS instances running Ubuntu 20.04.
Haven't had a chance to try running cassandra-stress or similar, but it starts
up just fine.
One hiccup I ran into was forgetting to run `apt update`, otherwise it couldn't
find Python 2 packages to install. Would be nice to remove that dependency :)

> Key: CASSANDRA-15889
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-15889
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Build
> Reporter: Matt Davis
> Assignee: Michael Semb Wever
> Priority: Normal
> Labels: ARM, debian
> Fix For: 2.2.x, 3.0.x, 3.11.x, 4.0-rc
>
>
> Following the first three steps of the [Debian install
> process|https://cassandra.apache.org/download/], after an apt-get update
> you'll see this line:
> {code:bash}
> $ sudo apt-get update
> ...
> N: Skipping acquire of configured file 'main/binary-arm64/Packages' as
> repository 'https://downloads.apache.org/cassandra/debian 311x InRelease'
> doesn't support architecture 'arm64'
> {code}
> Checking the [Debian
> repo|https://dl.bintray.com/apache/cassandra/dists/311x/main/] confirms there
> is no aarch64 variant available.
> Should you then attempt to install Cassandra:
> {code:bash}
> $ sudo apt-get install cassandra
> Reading package lists... Done
> Building dependency tree
> Reading state information... Done
> Package cassandra is not available, but is referred to by another package.
> This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
> is only available from another source
> E: Package 'cassandra' has no installation candidate
> {code}
> Note that there is a workaround available: if you specify "amd64" as the arch
> for the source, it downloads and runs on Arm without issue:
> {code:bash}
> echo "deb [arch=amd64] https://downloads.apache.org/cassandra/debian 311x
> main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/cassandra.sources.list
> {code}
> The Redhat RPM contains a "noarch" arch type, so it will download on any
> host. (Cassandra does not use separate binaries/releases for different
> architectures, so this seems to be the correct approach, but adding an
> aarch64 variant would also suffice.)
