i recall reading this about kafka.
https://ibmi-oss-docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/kafka/README.html <https://ibmi-oss-docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/kafka/README.html>


for most of it you should look and see what is available in the repositories
https://ibmi-oss-docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/yum/IBM_REPOS.html <https://ibmi-oss-docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/yum/IBM_REPOS.html>

those are a little long in the tooth, but a great place to start.

Well, I'm finally dipping my toes into these waters. I'm going to be working with kafka where I am now. Am using Mobaxterm for an SSH terminal, using bash.

I am following the directions and am at the point of running this:

wget https://dlcdn.apache.org/kafka/3.0.1/kafka_2.13-3.0.1.tgz

That's the instruction at ibmi-oss-docs for kafka. That URL is not valid, it's an old version, and that's OK. So I went to the Apache.org site, found a downloads page, so the command I'm using is actually this -

wget https://downloads.apache.org/kafka/4.0.0/kafka_2.13-4.0.0.tgz

So when I execute that, I receive this

-bash-5.2$ wgethttps://downloads.apache.org/kafka/4.0.0/kafka_2.13-4.00.tgz
--2025-06-11 15:49:04--https://downloads.apache.org/kafka/4.0.0/kafka_2.13-4.0.0.tgz

Connecting to downloads.apache.org|88.99.208.237|:443... connected.

I appreciate guidance here on this new venture!
