Installation

1. Install the Kafka driver

On Mac OSX, install librdkafka with homebrew:

brew install librdkafka

On Debian and Ubuntu, install librdkafka from the Confluent APT repositories, see instructions here and then install librdkafka:

apt install librdkafka-dev

On RedHat, CentOS, Fedora, install librdkafka from the Confluent YUM repositories, instructions here and then install librdkafka:

yum install librdkafka-devel

On Windows, reference librdkafka.redist NuGet package in your Visual Studio project.

2. Install the PHP Kafka extension

On Linux, Unix and OS X, you can install extensions using the PHP Extension Community Library (PECL):

pecl install rdkafka

then add the following to your .ini file:

extension=rdkafka.so

Important: When using multiple PHP versions, PECL will install the package for the latest PHP version only. To set a PHP version, download the source code and compile it specifying the target PHP version.

PHP 7.4 example:

pecl download rdkafka
tar -xvf rdkafka-X.x.x.tgz
cd rdkafka-X.x.x
phpize
./configure --with-php-config=/usr/bin/php-config7.4
make
sudo make install

then add the extension to your .ini file:

extension=rdkafka.so

More about compiling shared PECL extensions

On Windows, download the rdkafka DLL, put the file in your PHP/ext folder and add the extension to your php.ini file:

extension=rdkafka.dll

More about PECL on Windows
