lua-resty-kafka-fast

The repository of the binary installer

First, we need to configure the repository of the binary installer using the commands below. (The CLIENT_TOKEN in the commands needs to be replaced with a valid Token from the subscription email)

curl -o get-xray-priv-lib-repo.sh https://pkg2.openresty.com/scripts/get-xray-priv-lib-repo.sh

sudo bash get-xray-priv-lib-repo.sh -l openresty-priv-comm -t CLIENT_TOKEN
sudo bash get-xray-priv-lib-repo.sh -l lua-resty-kafka-fast -t CLIENT_TOKEN

We also rely on Openresty’s open-source repositories in addition to the above-mentioned repository. If you have not previously configured the open-source repository, you can refer to this page for configurations.
