configure Cassendra in Linux system

Question

Cassandra implements a Dynamo-style replication model with no single point of failure, but adds a more powerful “column family” data model. But Hbase has only column family data model. It is more useful compare with Hbase. But, I am not able to set Cassandra in my system. Can anyone help me?

Thank You
