Realtime Maps - Install Kafka on Windows (3)

We will build a live map of London with realtime updates.
We will use Apache Kafka, Javascript (Leaflet.JS) and Python (Flask, Pykafka and JSON). In this video I will show you how to install Apache Kafka on Windows.
Project Code can be found here:

I did everthing right. But still Kafka server is not running. and zookeeper is running. No response after kafka-server-start.bat command.
can you help ?

[@tech-letters]

Once you started Kafka-server-start.bat in a separate command line, is there any update in the command line where zookeeper is running? Also wait with Kafka until zookeeper is fully started. One more question: are you using windows?

[@dhananjayjha3507]

@@tech-letters Yes I'm using windows. And zookeeper is running well on 0.0.0.0:2181. No response after kafka-server-start.bat on another command line.

@@tech-letters stackoverflow.com/questions/59574035/server-is-not-working-after-zookeeper-ive-created-a-log-folder-and-mention-its You can check this link. I uploaded the problem on stack overflow. I uploaded the image of what it is responding when i run the kafka server.

@@dhananjayjha3507 hmm that's strange. Meanwhile the way of installing Kafka was highly simplified. It can be done with just downloading the confluent platform (free version). www.confluent.io/download
Perhaps you can try this one. If I find time I will do a video about it at the weekend, but can't promise. With this confluent platform it should be possible to install and start Kafka within few minutes

@@tech-letters ok thanks a lot :D

[@bitaihang3836]

why not mac or ubuntu?

[@tech-letters]

Hi. Currently I only have a windows machine with all my video software. Sorry :-( However with the new confulent plattform (free version) it is even more easy to install kafka on any OS. You just need to download it and it is ready for use already.

"The input line is too long" when running kafka-topics.bat

[@ih4722]

solved by renaming the file to just kafka.
