Procédure

1. Download and install Apache Kafka.
   1. Download the Apache Kafka binaries.
      Ensure that you download the binaries, not the source code, from the Apache Kafka website.
   2. Unzip the Apache Kafka package.
      For example:

      tar -zxvf kafka_2.13-3.2.0.tgz

2. Navigate to the parent directory where you extracted the Apache Kafka package.
   • For example, on Unix:

     cd /home/user/Software

   • For example, on Windows:

     cd C:\Software

3. Simplify the Apache Kafka directory name by renaming it to kafka.
   • For example, on Unix:

     mv kafka_2.13-3.2.0 kafka

   • For example, on Windows:

     rename kafka_2.13-3.2.0 kafka

Résultats

The Apache Kafka client is installed in a simplified directory on your local machine.
