After you decompress file. You will navigate to CONF directory and update the cassandra.yaml file.

In the .yaml file you must edit the following sections:

— data_files_directories (Setting the location of Cassandra installation)

in our case C:/Cassandra/data

— commitlog_directory (Setting the location of Cassandra installation/commitlog)

in our case.. C/Cassandra/commitlog

— saved_caches_directory (Setting the location of Cassandra installation/saved_caches)
