title: Install cassandra 3.10 on windows 10
body: <p>I am trying to install Cassandra on windows 10 localhost.
  I am getting error as <code>Can't detect Python version!</code></p>
  
  <p>I am trying this way</p>
  
  <p>Downloaded and extracted Cassandra in <code>C:\wamp64\apache-cassandra-3.10</code></p>
  
  <p>Set <code>Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted</code> in Windows powershell</p>
  
  <p>From Windows CMD</p>
  
  <pre><code>cd C:\wamp64\apache-cassandra-3.10\bin
  C:\wamp64\apache-cassandra-3.10\bin&gt;cassandra.bat -f
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Cassandra is now running so I stopped it by <code>Control-C</code></p>
  
  <p>Then I try to run <code>cqlsh</code> by following command</p>
  
  <pre><code>C:\wamp64\apache-cassandra-3.10\bin&gt;cqlsh.bat
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But I got errror <code>Can't detect Python version!</code></p>
  
  <p>So I download and install Python 2.7.13 in <code>C:\wamp64\python</code></p>
  
  <p>I have added environmental path for python in System Properties <code>C:\wamp64\python\</code></p>
  
  <p>I extracted Thrift in <code>C:\wamp64\python\thrift-0.10.0</code></p>
  
  <p>Then I install Python like this</p>
  
  <pre><code>C:\wamp64\python\thrift-0.10.0&gt;python setup.py install
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But again I am getting error on running <code>cqlsh</code> as</p>
  
  <pre><code>C:\wamp64\apache-cassandra-3.10\bin&gt;cqlsh.bat
  Can't detect Python version!
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Please see and suggest what step I have missed in installation of Cassandra for this error.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
  
  <p><strong>Edit</strong></p>
  
  <p>I reinstall everything from scratch again carefully and now I am getting this error</p>
