How to install Kafka on Windows?

Question

I\'m trying to install Kafka message queue on Windows for testing purposes (not for production).

I found this article on how to install Apache Kafka

Answer 1

1. Download any binary version(I've downloaded kafka_2.11-0.10.2.0) of Kafka from https://kafka.apache.org/downloads
2. Extract it to any folder(I've extracted to "C:\Kafka")
3. Open Command Prompt
4. Go to the folder that you extract Kafka(C:\Kafka\kafka_2.11-0.10.2.0)
5. Run this command .\bin\windows\zookeeper-server-start.bat .\config\zookeeper.properties to start Zookeeper
6. Run this command .\bin\windows\kafka-server-start.bat .\config\server.properties to start Kafka

Now it works!
