1. Install Java 7 JDK. This is required for running the application as well as building it

set your JAVA_HOME to the new JDK root directory. You can do this either in the System Control panel for the whole system or do it in a single terminal window.

set JAVA_HOME=c:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_40

Add Java into your path with the new JAVA_HOME:

set PATH=%JAVA_HOME%\bin;%PATH%

2. set up Maven, by unpacking it into a directory, and add its bin directory to the PATH

   set PATH=%PATH%;c:\Users\Steve\apache-maven-3.1.0\bin

3. Set up Cassandra
