Obtaining Kafka

  1. Compile Kafka source code to generate the Kafka archive. For details, see Kafka Porting Guide (CentOS & openEuler).
  2. Place the Kafka archive to the /usr/local directory on agent1 and decompress it.
    1
2
    mv kafka_2.11-2.2.0.tgz /usr/local
tar -zxvf kafka_2.11-2.2.0.tgz

    If the archive name is not kafka_2.11-2.2.0.tgz, replace it with the actual one.

  3. Create a soft link for subsequent version updates.
    1
    ln -s kafka_2.11-2.2.0 kafka

    If the software directory name is not kafka_2.11-2.2.0, replace it with the actual one.
