1. Add 'kafka' user::

  $ sudo useradd kafka -m

2.   Install Java::

  $ sudo apt-get update
  $ sudo apt-get install default-jre
  
3. Install zookeeper::

  $ sudo apt-get install zookeeperd
  
  .. note::
  
    After the installation completes, ZooKeeper will be started as a daemon automatically. By default, it will listen on port 2181.
    
4. Confirm zookeeper is running on expected port::

  $ telnet localhost 2181
  Trying ::1...
  Connected to localhost.
  Escape character is '^]'.
  ruok <-- Type at empty prompt!
  imokConnection closed by foreign host.
  
  .. note::
  
    if after typing 'ruok' once connected to 'localhost', zookeeper will respond with 'imok' and close the session.
    
5. Download kafka from http://kafka.apache.org/downloads.html::

  # with cntlm proxy installed and running if necessary
  $ export http_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:8009
  $ export https_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:8009
  # grab latest stable
  $ wget http://ftp.jaist.ac.jp/pub/apache/kafka/0.10.0.0/kafka_2.11-0.10.0.0.tgz

6. untar and move binaries to /usr/local/kafka::

  $ tar xvf kafka_2.11-0.10.0.0.tgz
  $ sudo mv kafka_2.11-0.10.0.0 /usr/local/kafka
  
7. Configure Kafka Server::
  
  # turn on topic delete
  $ vi /usr/local/kafka/config/server.properites
  
  #>> At end of file add:
  delete.topic.enable = true
  
  # save and quit
  
8.  Test Server::

  $ /usr/local/kafka/bin/kafka-server-start.sh /usr/local/kafka/config/server.properties
  ...
  [2016-08-06 01:22:00,000] INFO [Kafka Server 0], started (kafka.server.KafkaServer)

  .. note::
  
    This only starts the server temporarily for intial testing, the service should be registered later...
    
9. With the kafka sever running, open another session, and create a topic::

  $ /usr/local/kafka/bin/kafka-topics.sh --create --topic topic-test --zookeeper localhost:2181 --partitions 1 --replication-factor 1
  Created topic "topic-test".
  
10. List available topics::

  $ /usr/local/kafka/bin/kafka-topics.sh --list --zookeeper localhost:2181
  topic-test
  
  .. note::
  
    You should see the created, 'topic-test' topic listed.
    
11. Send message to topic as a producer via the 'kafka-console-producer.sh'::
  
    echo "hello world" | /usr/local/kafka/bin/kafka-console-producer.sh --broker-list localhost:9092 --topic topic-test
    
12. *Consume* the send message::

   $ /usr/local/kafka/bin/kafka-console-consumer.sh --zookeeper localhost:2181 --topic topic-test --from-beginning
   
  .. note::
  
    The '--from-beginning' flag given to start a consumer with the earliest message present in the log, rather than the latest message. (see */usr/local/kafka/bin/kafka-console-consumer.sh* help for more option details)
