here is the cassandra bin path and data

and here is the configuration directory of Cassandra

i can say cassandra is properly installed but nodetool is not working how can i solve this any kind of suggestion or help would be really helpful

Answer 1

You have a tarball installation of Cassandra (vs packaged installation) so you need to provide the path to the bin/ directory in order to execute the Cassandra tools. For example:

$ /path/to/cassandra_installation/bin/nodetool status

You can also configure the PATH environment variable on Linux to include Cassandra's bin/ directory so you don't have to specify the full path every time you run the nodetool command. For example:

$ export PATH="$PATH:/path/to/cassandra_installation/bin"

Cheers!
