Before we start the CQLSH make sure that the Cassandra server installed on windows is running. If it is running fine, you will find the below image.
To start cqlsh we need to have python installed on your machine.
Please download the Python installer according to system configuration.
Below is my system configuration.

Hi I got following error as
C:Program FilesDataStax Communityapache-cassandrabin>python cqlsh localhost 9042
File “cqlsh”, line 19
python “`dirname “$0″`/cqlsh.py” “$@”
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
Hey Prem, it depends on which version of Python you are using.
You can try changing the line:
python “dirname “$0″/cqlsh.py” “$@”
to
python2 “dirname “$0″/cqlsh.py” “$@”
We hope this solves your issues. Cheers :)

Yulia
Hey Yulia, thanks for checking out our blog. With regard to the error you’re facing, you need to edit cassandra.yaml on the node you are trying to connect to and set the node ip address for rpc_address and listen_address and restart Cassandra.
rpc_address is the address on which Cassandra listens to the client calls.
Hope this helps. Cheers!

Can you please help?
Hey Kamlesh, thanks for checking out our blog. You’re facing the error because the Java path is not set correctly. Please install the latest version: JRE 7, set JAVA_HOME to point to it, and restart the computer. Please refer to this blog for more information: https://www.edureka.co/blog/how-to-open-cqlsh-of-cassandra-installed-on-windows/. Hope this helps. Cheers!
I also got the same error but i cannot resolve using your solution.I set the java path correctly and also installed latest version of java.Yet it is showing SyntaxError. Please help me out in resolving this issue.
Hey Sravya, thanks for checking out our blog. Try running ./cqlsh in the CASSANDRA_HOME/bin directory directly from command line.
Try prefixing the command with “.”, ./ only works on Unix-like Operating Systems.
Hope this helps. Cheers!
please use the following command
cqlsh localhost 9160
It will work
When I am trying to run the command python setup.py install under (C:thrift-0.9.1), then I am getting the below error-
“python: cant open file ‘setup.py’: [Errno 2] No such file or directory.”
Please help me out with the same.
Thanks
Vipul Jain
Hey Vipul, thanks for checking out the blog. You may be getting the error because you are running the command from the wrong path:
Here we have to go into the directory that you are going to “setup”.
For example, if you are installing numpy, and you have git-cloned it, then it probably is located at ~/numpy.
So first cd into ~/numpy, and the type the commend like “python setup.py build” there.
Hope this helps. Cheers!
Hi, Thanks for your reply.
You mean I have to go into the directory in which the setup file – “python-2.7.3.amd64.msi”
is present on the computer?
Thanks!
Hey Vipul, yes you’re correct. You have installed this Python so it will be the location. Cheers!
Hi,

where is this cassandrabin folder?
how to get it?
Hey Shamika, thanks for checking out the blog. By default the location will be: /usr/bin
Hope this helps. Cheers!
Thank you for the great explanation. there is bit confusion on the folder to maintain. Is that to have three folders separately for python, cassandrabin and thrift-0.9.1 on Drive “c”?
Yes Prasanth!! We need to maintain these 3 different folders in C Drive.
