Problem with installation of Confluent platform

[GiuseppeR]

Hi,

I’m Giuseppe from Italy and I’m new on Conluent platform.
I’m following this quick start guide:

https://docs.confluent.io/platform/current/quickstart/ce-quickstart.html#ce-quickstart

when I try to start services:

confluent local services start 

I receive the error:

Error: open ~/Documenti/confluent/etc/kafka/zookeeper.properties: no such file or directory

I downloaded the zip Confluent Platform and uncompress it on my dir ~/Documenti/confluent/

I’m on a remote VM based on Linux Ubuntu operating system.
Please someone help me?
Thanks.
Giuseppe

Hi Giuseppe,

I guess you’ve you set the CONFLUENT_HOME path correctly?

zookeeper.properties file exists?

Hi,

Yes I have set CONFLUENT_HOME with:

export CONFLUENT_HOME="~/Documenti/confluent/"
export PATH=$PATH:$CONFLUENT_HOME/bin

and start confluent with:

confluent local services start

the zookeeper.properties file exists.
When I try to launch confluent the response is:

The local commands are intended for a single-node development environment only,
NOT for production usage. https://docs.confluent.io/current/cli/index.html

Using CONFLUENT_CURRENT: /tmp/confluent.993290
Error: open ~/Documenti/confluent/etc/kafka/zookeeper.properties: no such file or directory

Hoping you can help me.
Thx

What’s the output of

du -sh ~/Documenti/confluent/

and

ls -l ~/Documenti/confluent/etc/kafka

Hi,

played around a little in my local env, seems the issue is related to the “” in setting CONFLUENT_HOME path.

would you please try

export CONFLUENT_HOME=~/Documenti/confluent/

instead of

export CONFLUENT_HOME="~/Documenti/confluent/"
