Get CQLSH working on Linux

Posted on October 13, 2017 by Sreekumar Kj

Problem : CQLSH never works after a usual install.

Fix:

Install as below (on terminal)-

Make sure to use pip, not pip3; python 2.7 not python 3.x.
pip install cqlsh
pip install cassandra-driver
export CQLSH_NO_BUNDLED=true
echo ‘export CQLSH_NO_BUNDLED=true’ >> ~/.bashrc
cqlsh –cqlversion=3.4.4
