Unable to install Apache Cassandra 4.0.5 on Red Hat 7 / CentOS 7

I’m trying to install Apache Cassandra on Red Hat 7 via yum as described here https://cassandra.apache.org/_/download.html. The installation process was successful with version 4.0.3.

However, with the latest version 4.0.5 the following error message is returned during the installation process Error: Invalid version flag: or.
The or operator was added to the Apache Cassandra configuration with https://github.com/apache/cassandra/tree/cd0a40d09e5c029e3cac260ecf4cb3dc02deabc7.

From my understanding the or operator was introduced with the RPM version 4.13 but Red Hat 7 ships with 4.11.3.

Is there any other solution than upgrading to a new Red Hat version?

    I had the same issue.

    I found this jira ticket: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-17765

    On centos 7, it should be fixed by cassandra version 4.0.6, 4.1-beta, 4.1

    This is still happening on Cassandra 4.1.0. I successfully installed it on Centos 7 after I changed the repo baseUrl to noboolean path (basically, you just need to append /noboolean string to the path and that’s it). Steps to fix the issue:

    1. Run the vi /etc/yum.repos.d/cassandra.repo command
    2. Set baseurl=https://redhat.cassandra.apache.org/41x/noboolean and save the file
    3. Run the sudo yum install cassandra (as stated in the official docs)

    Works fine. Cassandra 4.1 is up and running in the cluster. Centos 8+ doesn’t need this change and official instructions work well as they are.
