cqlsh command line can't be opened in Apache Cassandra

I have installed Cassandra by following this tutorial: here. In the bin directory, there is cqlsh, that I am supposed to open to write command in order to create Table, Column etc..

But the cqlsh executable file isn't opening. If I click it, a pop up windows (looks like a shell) appears and quickly disappears. Where is my error and how can enable this file to open?

First of all, it sounds like you're running on Windows. Cassandra support for Windows is still a very new "thing," so honestly I would stick to your favorite flavor of Linux, IMO.

Secondly, what's happening is that you are running cqlsh without specifying an IP address or any other parameters that you might need. If you just want to run it on your local machine, open up a CMD window, and run (assuming that your local Python is properly pathed):

c:> python.exe cqlsh <IP_Address>

Have you turned on authentication and authorization? If so, you'll have to add it to that command as well:

c:> python.exe cqlsh <IP_Address> -u cassandra -p cassandra
