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?

For Windows:

  1. Go to kafka_2.11-2.0.0\bin\windows folder
  2. Then run zookeeper-server-start.bat ../../config/zookeeper.properties
