Unable to run confluent Kafka platform

Question

I am following this tutorial.

And as instructed, I have downloaded the platform from here, and cloned the github repository for code.

Downloaded platform is in zipped form, so I unzipped it and added its bin folder to PATH system variable. Now, I try to run start.sh as asked in 'Exercise 0: Run end-to-end demo'. But nothing happens.

A command window pops up and immediately disappears. What am I missng here?

The tutorial assumes you're already in a terminal and typing those commands.

Sounds like you're simply clicking the shell script, and there's some error
