gzip: stdin: not in gzip format
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
Thank you in advance to help myself fully run apache kafka,

Hello, @Azaretdodo
Can you confirm that the kafka.tgz was download without any errors using the curl command?
- curl "https://downloads.apache.org/kafka/2.6.2/kafka_2.13-2.6.2.tgz" -o ~/Downloads/kafka.tgz
You can also use wget instead of curl just as a test option and make sure to check the output of the command and see if the file is downloaded in the correct format when using wget the Length in the download output should be:
[application/x-gzip]
Hope that this helps! Regards, Alex
