Any idea where i can file install file for kafkacat for redhat or ubuntu version

Installing kafkacat on top of kafka cluster is enough?


Thanks

Debian maintains packages for kafkacat, so you should be able to install in Ubuntu.

Hi 

I have gone through the below link and setup kafkacat in my personal pc and nodes


But when i try the same in my client machines in DEV env while executing below yum commands after setting repo file
sudo yum update -y
sudo yum group install "Development Tools" -y
sudo yum install -y librdkafka-devel yajl-devel avro-c-devel
it says 
https:package.confluent.io/rpm/5.4/repodata/repomd.xml. [Errno 14] curl#6 - "Could not resolve host: packages.confluent.io; Name or service not known"
Trying other mirror.

This url is not working as per my test 

Please help me on solutions

It works fine from here, and as you said, it works fine from your other machines. 
My guess is your client machine is blocking it on the network somewhere.

I see a 0 (zero) instead of an o (the letter 'o') 
It is confluent.io not confluent.i0
