Install the cqlsh standalone tool

Install the Cassandra Query Language shell (cqlsh) standalone tool using a binary tarball on any Linux-based platform to use cqlsh remotely on a DataStax database cluster.

This command line shell connects remotely to a DataStax database cluster. You do not need to run cqlsh locally on a cluster node.

You can download the cqlsh binary tarball file for DataStax Enterprise 6.9 from Fix Central.

For more information, see Connect to DSE with cqlsh.
