Solution

  • you are giving invalid credentials used in the datastax.sources.list file.

    To add a DataStax repository file called /etc/apt/sources.list.d/datastax.sources.list:

     $ echo "deb https://dsa_email_address:password@debian.datastax.com/enterprise stable main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/datastax.sources.list
    

    where dsa_email_address and password are the DataStax Academy account credentials you created on the registration page.

    Attention: Depending on your environment, you might need to replace @ in your email address with %40 and escape any character in your password that is used in your operating system's command line. Examples: ! and \|.
