Berenguer Blasi commented on CASSANDRA-17669:
---------------------------------------------
You're right. Did you get a chance to test and install locally? I am sorry I
can't spin up VMs on my box atm to test it myself.
> CentOS/RHEL installation requires JRE not available in Java 11

> However, JRE is no longer available in Java 11. From the [JDK 11 release
> notes|https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/javase/11-relnote-issues.html]:
> {quote}In this release, the JRE or Server JRE is no longer offered. Only the
> JDK is offered.
> {quote}
> h2. Workaround
> Override the dependency check when installing the RPM with the {{--nodeps}}
> option:
> {noformat}
> $ sudo rpm --nodeps -i cassandra-4.0.4-1.noarch.rpm {noformat}
