How do I build Cassandra from GitHub source?


I found this repo on github: https://github.com/apache/cassandra

And I would like to import it into intellij and build it in order to run some code locally that I want to build on top of this github code. But there are no instructions for building it.

Where are the instructions?


Solution

  • Thank you for taking interest in writing Cassandra code.

    The instructions for building Cassandra from source code including IDE integration is documented in the Contributing to Cassandra page on the official Apache Cassandra website. There are instructions for IntelliJ, NetBeans and Eclipse.

    It's not as straightforward as we would like because everyone's laptop/desktop is different so I would recommend you join the ASF Slack to get help in real-time from other Cassandra contributors in the #cassandra-dev channel. For details, see the Community section of the Cassandra website. Cheers!
