cant start the kafka server in my directory kafka

i want to start my very first kafka, but when i tried to run this on my kafka_2.13-2.8.0 directory bin\windows\zookeeper-server-start.bat .. \ .. \config\zookeeper.properties

why it returns \Kafka\kafka_2.13-2.8.0\bin\windows\../ ../config/log4j.properties was unexpected at this time

idk i already followed this tip to install kafka https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bYVyRh4C94E&t=303s

It's a known error in the Kafka log4j settings, especially if the install path contains spaces or non alphanumeric characters

If you really want to run Kafka on Windows, you should use WSL2 anyway, or Docker. Otherwise, assuming you did get the bat file working, you'd eventually run into other errors that crash the broker
