Important: Progress® recommends you install a recent release version of the Apache® Kafka® C/C++ library. The minimum version required is 1.7.
To install on Linux:
  1. Open a browser and visit https://github.com/edenhill/librdkafka.
  2. Follow the instructions for getting librdkafka from the Confluent APT or YUM repositories for the relevant Linux operating system.
Note: If the package manager does not give you the latest version of librdkafka, you can get the package directly from Confluent. Note that librdkafka may require additional libraries, such as libssl, to be updated on the operating system as well.
