Installation
Packages
Pre-built packages are available for CentOS 6/7/8, Ubuntu 14.04/16.04/18.04 and Windows 7 SP1 and above.
CentOS
| Version | URL |
|---|---|
| CentOS 6 | http://downloads.datastax.com/cpp-driver/centos/6/cassandra |
| CentOS 7 | http://downloads.datastax.com/cpp-driver/centos/7/cassandra |
| CentOS 8 | http://downloads.datastax.com/cpp-driver/centos/8/cassandra |
Dependencies
CentOS doesn’t have up-to-date versions of libuv so we provide current packages.
| Version | URL |
|---|---|
| CentOS 6 | http://downloads.datastax.com/cpp-driver/centos/6/dependencies |
| CentOS 7 | http://downloads.datastax.com/cpp-driver/centos/7/dependencies |
| CentOS 8 | http://downloads.datastax.com/cpp-driver/centos/8/dependencies |
To Install
Install dependencies:
yum install openssl krb5 zlib
rpm -Uvh libuv-<version>.rpm
Note: Replace <version> with the release version of the package.
Install the runtime library:
rpm -Uvh cassandra-cpp-driver-<version>.rpm
When developing against the driver you’ll also want to install the development package and the debug symbols.
rpm -Uvh cassandra-cpp-driver-devel-<version>.rpm
rpm -Uvh cassandra-cpp-driver-debuginfo-<version>.rpm
Ubuntu

dpkg -i cassandra-cpp-driver-dev_<version>.deb
dpkg -i cassandra-cpp-driver-dbg_<version>.deb
Windows
| Version | URL |
|---|---|
| Windows | http://downloads.datastax.com/cpp-driver/windows/cassandra |
Dependencies
We provide packages (.zip files) for all the dependencies (except for
Kerberos) on Windows because they can be difficult to install/build.
| Version | URL |
|---|---|
| Windows | http://downloads.datastax.com/cpp-driver/windows/dependencies |
To Install
First, you will need to download and install Kerberos for Windows.
Unzip the packages (from http://downloads.datastax.com) and add the include and
library directories to your project’s Additional Include Directories and
Additional Dependencies configuration properties.
Building
If pre-built packages are not available for your platform or architecture you will need to build the driver from source. Directions for building and installing the DataStax C/C++ Driver for Apache Cassandra and DataStax Products can be found here.
