sudo tar -xvf kafka_2.11-2.1.1.tgz -C /opt/Kafka/

Make Sure Server is Running

sudo /opt/Kafka/kafka_2.11-2.1.1/bin/kafka-server-start.sh /opt/Kafka/kafka_2.11-2.1.1/config/server.properties

Now create a sample topic with name "testing"

sudo /opt/Kafka/kafka_2.11-2.1.1/bin/kafka-topics.sh --create --zookeeper localhost:2181 --replication-factor 1  --partitions 1 --topic testing
