   I follow Cassandra 1.1 documentation (p.29-37) to install a Cassandra Cluster on Amazon EC2. I choose ami-814ec2e8 (datastax-us-east-1/datastax-clustering-ami-2.4.ma*) from AWS Community AMIs. Everything goes well until I SSH to the 1st node and issue the command "nodetool ring -h localhost". The error message is "nodetool: command not found".

   Q#1: Did I choose the correct AMI?
   Q#2: Do I need to load/install anything else?
   Q#3: Is there an existing AMI for a single node cluster if I just want to play with cli and cql?

   Thanks.

   Hello Marco,

   Could you attach your ~/datastax_ami/ami.log? This will let us track down the current issue.

   Also, if you take a look at the "message of the day" when you ssh in, it should alert you that there have been errors. Most times it does a good job of letting you know what's wrong.

   Thanks,
   Joaquin

   Hi Joaquin,

   Thank you for your quick reply. I redo it and it works. I can use CLI. I can use OpsCenter. I have one more question. How to invoke CQL? I follow the documentation, both ./cqlsh and ./cqlsh --cql3 not found. Where is cql? Any suggestions?

   Regards,

   Marco

   It's installed via the packages and should be linked to /usr/bin. Simply run cqlsh and you should be good to go.

   Thanks,
   Joaquin
