I'm at the point where Mark suggests exploring data in Apache Kafka, using kcat (kafkacat). The command he suggests using is “kcat -C -b localhost:29092 -t orders -c 1”.

I have installed my setup on Ubuntu server using docker. I have also copied kcat from docker hub image confluentinc/cp-kafkacat.

I cannot produce a result from the command referenced above. My terminal returns the following error when running the command....

Command 'kcat' not found, but there are 18 similar ones.

I was able to get it working by replacing kcat with kafkacat in the command. Possibly a typo?
