Hello I am following this guide: https://kafka.apache.org/quickstart

I have run these commands:

I am getting this error message:

[0.002s][error][logging] Error opening log file '/g/kafka_2.13-3.2.0/bin/../logs/zookeeper-gc.log': No such file or directory
[0.002s][error][logging] Initialization of output 'file=/g/kafka_2.13-3.2.0/bin/../logs/zookeeper-gc.log' using options 'filecount=10,filesize=100M' failed.
Invalid -Xlog option '-Xlog:gc*:file=/g/kafka_2.13-3.2.0/bin/../logs/zookeeper-gc.log:time,tags:filecount=10,filesize=100M', see error log for details.
Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine.

I have Java 17 installed locally:

Please use WSL2, not Git Bash / MinGW. Also use Java 11 rather than 17 or higher – OneCricketeer Jul 01 '22 at 12:42
@OneCricketeer Ok so thats the problem, I need to run this in a linux vm? – Josh Jul 01 '22 at 13:39

WSL2 is a hypervisor, not a VM, but yes. You can also try the windows/bat files instead in command prompt/powershell, but people report limited success with those – OneCricketeer Jul 01 '22 at 14:20
@OneCricketeer Ok thanks for that, if I could mark this as an answer I would – Josh Jul 01 '22 at 15:47
