Guys, commands are given in the video description.

[bravinrutto]

if you are getting the following error "The input line is too long.
The syntax of the command is incorrect." move the kafka folder to C drive. You should have the following directory "C:\kafka"

[SuperKidontheblock]

Sometimes the length of the folder name can be too big so you want to rename as kafka when installing. Not sure if it's mentioned in the video.

Thank you soo much... after surfing for nearly 2 hrs, I get the perfect vdo for Kafka hands on

If you are facing error while running kafka then Just place kafka folder outside the Program Files. Place them in C directory and start again to see the magic.

[georgeignatov]

[obilisamy]

Thanks you sir ..from initial to end very good

[prithveemohan]

thanks. Very helpful! Can you also share information on how Kafka can read a log file saved on the local machine?

I was having "The System can't find the path specified" error, but cmd doesn't properly informs what causes the error.

When I tried with bash I was informed that zooekeeper wasn't able to fin my jdk system variable, turns out that the variable wasnt properly informed, if you're facing the same problem try to check this.

[vaibhav]

I wasted more than 90 mins setting up. The main issue was space in Program files where space is there. Make sure there is no space on folder name, . For java and kafka. Also check JAVA_HOME environment variable in you PC.

[ashishraj]

Quick Tip Everyone: Be sure to have the 64-bit version of java installed or it will give you fits. Hope it helps someone in the future.

Console command to check for 64-bit: java -d64 -version

^ If that has an error message, you're on 32-bit.

[AmitCodes]

move your installations to a folder with no space in name, else you will get error
