cassandra 2 complaining about Java 7 when I have Java 7 installed

Question

$ cassandra 
Cassandra 2.0 and later require Java 7 or later.

OK, what\'s going on in that part of the init script?

java_ver_output=`\         


        

Answer 1

Nothing above worked for me.I was trying to run cassandra with supervisor and was getting java error.So I figured out that I had to just set java path in cassandra.in.sh. I just had to set JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/jdk1.8.0_171 and save it and this worked for me.
