So I tried to put the KAFKA_CLUSTER_ID="$(bin/kafka-storage.sh random-uuid)" to the Bash in the Kafka root folder and got following error:

  • Yes, the root folder of it is on Desktop and I renamed it to `kafka` (removed the versions from name). I did `cd kafka`, so it moved me into kafka root level. And java which I use is 8. I was also trying it even with the name with the versions and I also tried to put the folder right under C: - didn't help. – Daniel Bednář Jan 20 '23 at 15:12

    it definitively has problems running on Windows - I got `java.io.FileNotFoundException: \tmp\kafka\bin\..\config\tools-log4j.properties` despite the file being there and being readable, but note the ``\`` - backslashes should not be used for *nix or similar - in my case I suppose the problem is because it is using the WIndows Java (despite being in a *nix (simulated?) environment) – user16320675 Jan 20 '23 at 15:32
