Hi@akhtar,

To create a Kafka topic, you need to tell the location of the zookeeper with the same port no, you mentioned in the zoo.cfg file. You can run the below command to create a Kafka topic.

$ bin/kafka-topics.sh --zookeeper localhost:2181 --create --topic topic-edu --replication-factor 1 --partitions 1
Created topic topic-edu.
