Procedure

  1. Modify the aptitude repository source list file (/etc/apt/sources.list.d/datastax.community.list). 
    $ echo "deb http://debian.datastax.com/community stable main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/datastax.community.list
  2. Add the DataStax repository key to your aptitude trusted keys: 
    $ curl -L http://debian.datastax.com/debian/repo_key | sudo apt-key add -
  3. Install the OpsCenter package using the APT Package Manager: 
    $ apt-get update
$ apt-get install opscenter

  1. Start OpsCenter: 
    $ sudo service opscenterd start
  2. Connect to OpsCenter in a web browser using the following URL: 
    http://opscenter-host:8888/
  3. Next you can add an existing cluster or provision a new one.
