So I recently installed Cassandra on OSX. I have it in my /usr/bin/ file. In order to start cassandra though I have to be in the /usr/bin/apache-cassandra-1.2.1/ directory (or specify the path). How can I create a command so that no matter where I am in the system I can just type 'cassandra' and have it run Cassandra?

You have to add /usr/bin/apache-cassandra-1.2.1/ to your $PATH – Nifle Feb 12 '13 at 15:43

You can also add this line to ~/.bashrc : `alias cassandra='/usr/bin/apache-cassandra-1.2.1/cassandra'. – terdon Feb 12 '13 at 16:04
Awesome, this worked great. Thanks so much for the help. Trying to get over this learning curve! – Chris Clouten Feb 12 '13 at 20:12
