Not able to download Kafka using curl

Question

I am trying to install Kafka on Ubuntu. I am trying to download Kafka but I am getting error:

$ curl "https://mirrors.estointernet.in/apache/kafka/2.8.1/kafka-2.8.1-src.tgz"
Warning: Binary output can mess up your terminal. Use "--output -" to tell 
Warning: curl to output it to your terminal anyway, or consider "--output 
Warning: <FILE>" to save to a file.

Answer 1

The output to download this is in binary and that's why you are getting this warning. You can do 2 things:

1. Allow curl to show the output

curl "http://mirrors.estointernet.in/apache/kafka/2.1.1/kafka-2.1.1-src.tgz" --output -

But I would not suggest that because the output will be very messy

2. Send the output to a text file:

curl "https://mirrors.estointernet.in/apache/kafka/2.8.1/kafka-2.8.1-src.tgz" --output kaf.txt

Hope this will help.
