Install DataStax Studio 6.8

DataStax Studio is an interactive developer tool for CQL (Cassandra Query Language), Spark SQL, and DSE Graph.

Prerequisites

DataStax Studio requires the following:

OpenJDK 8 or Oracle Java 8 (at least 1.8.0_151) or later. JDK 11 is recommended.
A supported platform, either DataStax Enterprise (DSE) or Astra DB Serverless.

DataStax Studio doesn’t support Apache Cassandra.

For more detailed prerequisites for DSE, see Install DataStax Studio for DSE.

Download Studio from the DataStax Downloads page.
Optional: If you have an earlier version of DataStax Studio installed, back up the user data directory (~/.datastax_studio) before you install a new version.

For more information about upgrades, see Upgrading DataStax Studio.
Unpack Studio:
- Linux and macOS
- Microsoft Windows
tar -xzf datastax-studio-VERSION.tar.gz
Replace VERSION with the version number of the tarball you downloaded, such as 6.8.0.
In File Explorer, locate your Studio archive, such as ~\datastax-studio-VERSION.zip where VERSION is the version number you downloaded.

Right-click the ZIP file, and then select Extract All….

Change to the Studio installation directory:

cd installation_location/datastax-studio-6.8.0

C:/> cd installation_location\datastax-studio-6.8.0\bin\

Run the Studio Server shell script:
- Linux and macOS
- Microsoft Windows
./bin/server.sh
To start Studio in the background, add & at the end of the command: ./bin/server.sh &
C:/> server.bat
When the server starts, the URL is printed in the terminal:
```
Studio is now running at: http://127.0.0.1:9091
```
In a web browser, navigate to the URL where DataStax Studio is running.

The URL can be different depending on your cluster configuration. For example, for DSE running on localhost, the URL is localhost:port. For remote clusters, the URL uses the hostname or IP address of the remote machine.

pkill -f studio

In your terminal, press Control+C to end the running process.
