To install kafka , I downloaded the kafka tar folder. To start the server I tried this command :
bin/zookeeper-server-start.sh config/zookeeper.properties
The following error occured on entering the above command:
INFO Reading configuration from: config/zookeeper.properties (org.apache.zookeeper.server.quorum.QuorumPeerConfig)

Is it that I need to setup zookeeper separately? How could I resolve this?
This is basically because of this
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: config/zookeeper.properties file is missing
it would be really useful if you could share what exactly have you done so far. Also check if the same file exists at the said location and you are running the command from the correct location .. it is supposed to be run from your $KAFKA_HOME folder (where you've extracted the tar file)
