The installation instructions given earlier assume that you're using the latest version of
Mac OS X (at the time of writing this, 10.10 Yosemite). If you're running a different ver-

to install Cassandra using Homebrew; simply type the following:
$ brew install cassandra
$ pip install cassandra-driver cql
$ cassandra

• Installed Cassandra using the Homebrew package manager
• Installed the CQL shell and its dependency, the Python Cassandra driver
• Started the Cassandra server
