+- The following are the steps to install the Sink Connector Kafka JAR 
+
+
+**Download or Build the Sink Connector Kafka JAR** \
+   The Sink Connector Kafka JAR is available
+    in the releases artifacts or can be built from the source code.
+     ```cd sink-connector
+        mvn clean package
+    ```
+    The JAR file is available in the target directory.
+
+**Identify or Create a Plugins Directory** \
+   Kafka Connect loads connectors from the plugin.path defined in its configuration.
+   If you haven't configured a plugins directory, create one. For example:
+   ```
+   /usr/local/kafka/connectors/
+   ```
+**Place the JAR File in the Plugins Directory** \
+   Copy the connector JAR file and its dependencies into a subdirectory inside the plugin path:
+   ```
+   /usr/local/kafka/connectors/my-sink-connector/
+   ```
+**Configure Kafka Connect to Use the Plugins Directory** \\
+   Edit your Kafka Connect worker properties file (connect-distributed.properties or connect-standalone.properties):
+   properties
+   ```
+   plugin.path=/usr/local/kafka/connectors/
+   ```
+**Restart Kafka Connect**
+   Restart Kafka Connect to load the new connector:\
+
+   *For distributed mode:*
+
+   ```
+   bin/connect-distributed.sh config/connect-distributed.properties
+   ```
+
+   *For standalone mode:*
+   ```
+   bin/connect-standalone.sh config/connect-standalone.properties <connector-config-file>
+   ```
+**Verify Connector Installation** 
+
+   Use the Kafka Connect REST API to verify that the connector is installed:
+   ```
+   curl -sS localhost:8083/connector-plugins | jq .
+   ```
+   This command should list your newly installed connector.
