- Download or build the connector plugin JAR from the repository.

Add the connector plugin to your Kafka Connect environment.
To add a connector, ensure you have your connector plugin directory or JAR files in the location specified in the
plugin.path
property of your Kafka Connect worker configuration (for example,<kafka>/config/connect-distributed.properties
). Theplugin.path
property is a comma-separated list of paths to directories that contain connector plugins.For example:
plugin.path=/usr/local/share/java,/usr/local/share/kafka/plugins,/opt/connectors
- Restart Kafka Connect to make the new connector available in the environment.
For more information about how to set up a Kafka Connect environment, add connectors to it, and start the connectors, see how to set up and run connectors.
