You don't need Confluent Platform. Download Kafka from Apache website. It comes with all commands to run Kafka Connect. The only requirement is Java (version 11 is recommended, although 17 is the latest supported).
To install connectors, you can use confluent-hub
without Confluent Platform

Kafka connect requires JVM. Although you can run it only with JRE, I recommend installing jdk (like openjdk). Download JAR from https://packages.confluent.io/archive/6.2/ (or version that you prefer). And run it as java process passing parameters file as a configuration.
