Step-1:We must have Java installed. So below command will install Java
Step-2: To check the java version
java --version

Step-4: Now we want to unzip the file
tar -xvzf kafka_2.13-3.5.1.tgz
Step-5:Now lets move this unzipped folder to /usr/local
Step-6:Now we need to set zookeeper either you can open file and copy paste below or use cat command
sudo vi /etc/systemd/system/zookeeper.service
Step-7:Enter the following unit definition into the file:
[Unit] Description=Apache Zookeeper server
Documentation=http://zookeeper.apache.org
Requires=network.target remote-fs.target
After=network.target remote-fs.target
[Service]
Type=simple
ExecStart=/usr/bin/bash /usr/local/kafka/bin/zookeeper-server-start.sh /usr/local/kafka/config/zookeeper.properties
ExecStop=/usr/bin/bash /usr/local/kafka/bin/zookeeper-server-stop.sh
Restart=on-abnormal
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
Step-8:Enter the following unit definition into the file:
$cat >/etc/systemd/system/zookeeper.service1 << EOF
[Unit]
Description=Apache Zookeeper server
Documentation=http://zookeeper.apache.org
Requires=network.target remote-fs.target
After=network.target remote-fs.target
[Service]
Type=simple
ExecStart=/usr/bin/bash /usr/local/kafka/bin/zookeeper-server-start.sh /usr/local/kafka/config/zookeeper.properties
ExecStop=/usr/bin/bash /usr/local/kafka/bin/zookeeper-server-stop.sh
Restart=on-abnormal
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Requires=zookeeper.service
[Service]
Type=simple
Environment="JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/jre-17-openjdk"
ExecStart=/usr/bin/bash /usr/local/kafka/bin/kafka-server-start.sh /usr/local/kafka/config/server.properties
ExecStop=/usr/bin/bash /usr/local/kafka/bin/kafka-server-stop.sh
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
Step-11:Enter the following unit definition into the file:
$ cat > /etc/systemd/system/kafka.service << EOF
[Unit]

Environment="JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/jre-17-openjdk"
ExecStart=/usr/bin/bash /usr/local/kafka/bin/kafka-server-start.sh /usr/local/kafka/config/server.properties
ExecStop=/usr/bin/bash /usr/local/kafka/bin/kafka-server-stop.sh
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
EOF
Step-12:Now we need to reload deamons to make sure we got latest changes
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl start zookeeper
sudo systemctl start kafka
sudo systemctl enable zookeeper
sudo systemctl enable kafka
sudo systemctl status zookeeper kafka
Step-13:If you want to open firwall ports
firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-port=9092/tcp
firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-port=2181/tcp
sudo firewall-cmd --reload
Step-14:Lets create topics in Kafka. First goto Kafka directory
cd /usr/local/kafka/bin
Step-15:Then create topic
./kafka-topics.sh --create --bootstrap-server [server]:[port] --replication-factor 1 --partitions 1 --topic [topic-name]
./kafka-topics.sh --create --bootstrap-server localhost:9092 --replication-factor 1 --partitions 1 --topic topic1
./kafka-console-producer.sh --broker-list localhost:9092 --topic topic1
Step-16:Open another terminal of same machine and run below command
./kafka-console-consumer.sh --bootstrap-server localhost:9092 --topic topic1 --from-beginning
