Also, unless you've downloaded a binary distribution, you'll need to compile the software by invoking `ant` from the top-level directory. + Cassandra configuration files can be found in `conf` directory under the top directory of binary and source distributions. + If you have installed cassandra from RPM packages, configuration files will be placed into `/etc/cassandra/conf`. === Step 2.1: Edit cassandra.yaml === - The distribution's sample configuration `/etc/cassandra/conf/cassandra.yaml` contains reasonable defaults for single node operation, but you will need to make sure that the paths exist for '''data_file_directories''', '''commitlog_directory''', and '''saved_caches_directory'''. + The distribution's sample configuration `conf/cassandra.yaml` contains reasonable defaults for single node operation, but you will need to make sure that the paths exist for '''data_file_directories''', '''commitlog_directory''', and '''saved_caches_directory'''. Verify '''storage_port''' and '''rpc_port''' are not conflict with other service on your computer. By default, Cassandra uses 7000 for storage_port, and 9160 for rpc_port. The `storage_port` must be identical between Cassandra nodes in a cluster. Cassandra client applications will use `rpc_port` to connect to Cassandra.
