A BASH script to setup everything we need for a Cassandra development machine with Ubuntu Desktop.

setup-cassandra-dev.sh

#!/bin/bash

ROOT_UID=0 #Root has $UID 0
if [ $UID != $ROOT_UID ]
then
   echo -e "Insufficient privileges!"
   exit 1
fi

echo "Installing Java..."
add-apt-repository -y ppa:webupd8team/java
apt-get update
echo debconf shared/accepted-oracle-license-v1-1 select true | sudo debconf-set-selections
echo debconf shared/accepted-oracle-license-v1-1 seen true | sudo debconf-set-selections
apt-get -y install oracle-java6-installer

echo "Installing Eclipse..."
apt-get -y --no-install-recommends install eclipse

echo "Installing LibYAML..."
wget -P Downloads http://pyyaml.org/download/libyaml/yaml-0.1.4.tar.gz
tar -zxf Downloads/yaml-0.1.4.tar.gz
cd yaml-0.1.4
./configure
make
make install
cd ..

echo "Installing python-dev"
apt-get -y install python-dev

echo "Installing PyYAML..."
wget -P Downloads http://pyyaml.org/download/pyyaml/PyYAML-3.10.tar.gz
tar -zxf Downloads/PyYAML-3.10.tar.gz
cd PyYAML-3.10
python setup.py --with-libyaml install
cd ..

echo "Installing CCM..."
mkdir ccm
cd ccm
git init
git pull https://github.com/pcmanus/ccm.git
./setup.py install
cd ..

echo "Installation completed in $SECONDS seconds."

Here are the steps I need to take on a newly installed machine with Ubuntu Desktop:

sudo apt-get -y install git
git init
git pull https://gist.github.com/5380980.git
chmod +x setup-cassandra-dev.sh
sudo ./setup-cassandra-dev.sh
ccm create casdev2 -v git:cassandra-2.0.2

Nice Tony! I'll see about modding your script for dse.
