Install DataStax Studio

DataStax Studio is an interactive developer tool for sending Cassandra Query Language (CQL), DSE Graph, and Gremlin Query Language queries in notebook format.

Standalone installation

To install and use a standalone DataStax Studio instance, see the DataStax Studio documentation.

Docker container

To run a DataStax Studio Docker container in concert with a DataStax Enterprise (DSE) container, do the following:

  1. Install Docker Engine.

  2. Adjust hardware resources and system settings to support the containers that you want to run, as explained in Recommended settings for DataStax Enterprise (DSE) Docker containers.

  3. Download a DataStax Studio container image from Docker Hub or use the docker pull command:

    docker pull datastax/dse-studio:STUDIO_VERSION
  4. Start a DSE container, if you haven’t done so already.

  5. Start a DataStax Studio container that is linked to the DSE container on the same Docker host, specifying the DSE and DataStax Studio container names:

    docker run -e DS_LICENSE=accept \
    -p 9091:9091 --link DSE_CONTAINER_NAME --name STUDIO_CONTAINER_NAME \
    -d datastax/dse-studio

    For a list of required arguments and common options for DataStax containers, see Options for docker run and docker compose.

  6. In your browser, navigate to http://DOCKER_HOST_IP:9091, where DOCKER_HOST_IP is the IP address of the Docker host where your DataStax Studio container is running.

  7. In DataStax Studio, create a connection using your DSE container name as the hostname.

For information about managing the container and DataStax Studio configuration, including custom images and mounted volumes, see Configure DataStax Enterprise (DSE) Docker containers.
