title: Fresh Cassandra installation on ubuntu trusty machine
body: <p>I'm trying to install Cassandra 3.4 on 64 bit ubuntu 14.04.
  I followed the DataStax instructions</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li><a href="http://docs.datastax.com/en/cassandra/3.x/cassandra/install/installOpenJdkDeb.html" rel="nofollow">Java installation</a></li>
  <li><a href="http://docs.datastax.com/en/cassandra/3.x/cassandra/install/installDeb.html" rel="nofollow">Cassandra installation</a></li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Everything seems to be going alright, but when checking if cassandra is up with <code>nodetool status</code> I get:</p>
  
  <pre><code>vagrant@vagrant-ubuntu-trusty-64:~$ nodetool status
  nodetool: Failed to connect to '127.0.0.1:7199' - ConnectException: 'Connection refused'.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there something missing in the instruction?</p>
