How to install Datastax DevCenter without Cassandra database - cassandra

I have downloaded and installed Cassandra according to this guide: http://cassandra.apache.org/download/
Now I'd like to install Datastax DevCenter, but the problem is that I cannot find a standalone Datastax DevCenter download and / or instructions how to download and install only the Datastax DevCenter without installing and setting up yet another Cassandra node.
DeveCenter installation guide: http://docs.datastax.com/en/developer/devcenter/doc/devcenter/dcInstallation.html
According to the video the install will setup Cassandra node and optionally install DevCenter and other tools.
It is also said that the APT package installer does not install DevCenter:
http://docs.datastax.com/en/datastax_enterprise/5.0/datastax_enterprise/install/installDEBdse.html
I have Ubuntu 16.04

Sorry to answer my own question, but I found the link where to download all datastax tools:

Error installing Cassandra 3.11.12, returns "Processing Conflict: cassandra22-2.2.7.1 conflicts cassandra"

I have a problem with up upgrade the Cassandra version from 2.2.x to 3.11.x.
I don't understand why it's the same Cassandra 2.2.x, but when installing with package cassandra-2.2.19-1.noarch.rpm , it can upgrade normally, while installing with package cassandra22-2.2.8-1.noarch.rpm, it gives an error as figure below.
Unfortunately, my server is installing the rpm package cassandra22-2.2.8-1.noarch.rpm. Please help me upgrade this Cassandra version.
cassandra22-2.2.7-1.noarch is not a valid package so my guess is that you downloaded it from a non-official source.
You will need to uninstall it first before you can install a newer version of Cassandra. Then, you need to add the official repo to /etc/yum.repos.d/cassandra/repo. For Cassandra 3.11, the correct repo is:
[cassandra]
name=Apache Cassandra
baseurl=https://downloads.apache.org/cassandra/redhat/311x/
You should then be able to install the latest version of Cassandra 3.11. For more info, see Installing Cassandra 3.11. Cheers!

Follow Bitnami Steps on how to install Dockers and download Cassandra Image on your Virtual Machine

sstabledump not found on Cassandra 3.11 ubuntu 16.04

I have installed Cassandra 311 on ubuntu 1604. Everything works fine but I am not able to find SSTABLEDUMP utility in the bin folder.
How can I get this installed as patch? Or I am missing something?
Thanks.
Depending on which version you have installed:
DataStax Enterprise 5.0 Installer No-Services and tarball installations:
install_location/resources/cassandra/tools/bin
Cassandra tarball installations:
install_location/tools/bin/
For package installations (Cassandra package or DataStax Enterprise 5.0 Installer Services and package installations) you do not need to know the installation folder to run it, you can just simply use it as:
sstabledump [options] sstable_file
https://docs.datastax.com/en/cassandra/3.0/cassandra/tools/ToolsSSTabledump.html
Also to have the tools, you need to install cassandra-tools separately apart from cassandra:
sudo apt-get install cassandra-tools

How to install Apache Cassandra on CentOS 7?

Cassandra installation documentation mentions installation from a tarball or as a Debian package. Is there a way to install it using yum, now that DataStax does not provides the distribution?
CentOS uses RPM as package format as far as I can remember. So look on http://cassandra.apache.org/download/:
Installation from RPM packages
For the specify the major version number, without dot, and with an appended x. The latest is 311x. For older releases, the can be one of 30x, 22x, or 21x.
(Not all versions of Apache Cassandra are available, since building RPMs is a recent addition to the project.)
Add the Apache repository of Cassandra to /etc/yum.repos.d/cassandra.repo, for example for the latest 3.11 version:
[cassandra]
name=Apache Cassandra
baseurl=https://www.apache.org/dist/cassandra/redhat/311x/
gpgcheck=1
repo_gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=https://www.apache.org/dist/cassandra/KEYS
Install Cassandra, accepting the gpg key import prompts:
sudo yum install cassandra
Start Cassandra (will not start automatically):
service cassandra start
Systemd based distributions may require to run systemctl daemon-reload once to make Cassandra available as a systemd service. This should happen automatically by running the command above.
Make Cassandra start automatically after reboot:
chkconfig cassandra on
Please note that official RPMs for Apache Cassandra only have been available recently and are not tested thoroughly on all platforms yet. We appreciate your feedback and support and ask you to post details on any issues in the corresponding Jira ticket.
