Command for Downloading Lesson Notes into the LHM-VM:

Once you have started and logged into the LHM-VM (as user hands-on), cut and paste the following lines to download and extract get the lesson notes into the LHM-VM. Preform the following from inside the LHM-VM:

  $ wget https://www.clustermonkey.net/download/LiveLessons/Kafka_Essentials/Kafka_Essentials.tgz

Extract the archive file using the "tar" command:

  $ tar xvzf Kafka_Essentials.tgz

More detailed Instructions Note: After extracting, the current directory name is Kafka_Essentials-V2.

Command for Download Kafka Cluster Install Scripts:

These instructions provide the steps (and scripts) to install and NFS-based Kafka cluster on three servers. They are also included in the Lesson Notes, but are not intended (and will not work on the LHM-VM). Login (as root) to the main cluster server and run:

  # wget https://www.clustermonkey.net/download/LiveLessons/Kafka_Essentials/Kafka-install-v1.tgz

Extract the archive file using the "tar" command:

  # tar xvzf Kafka-install-v1.tgz

Consult the NOTES.txt file in the Kafka-install directory.
