Install Cassandra and Dependencies

WARNING:

FreeBSD's official cassandra2.1 was crashing because of a read from a bad memory addr, I have been having more success from a downloaded version of the latest cassandra (3.9)

## find link at http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.lua/cassandra/3.9/apache-cassandra-3.9-bin.tar.gz
curl -#O http://apache.forsale.plus/cassandra/3.9/apache-cassandra-3.9-bin.tar.gz

pkg install cassandra2

set hostname to a FDQN

Mount procfs

# =========================
# If running on host-system

mount /proc

# (alternatively   mount -t procfs proc /proc )

# ======================
# If running inside jail
# ======================

#### /etc/jail.conf
<jailname> {
   enforce_statfs=1;   ## mounts under jail's chroot are visible
	allow.mount;        ## priv users can use mount
	allow.mount.procfs; ## priv users can mount procfs
