 Installation of the connector is similar in process to other Kafka Connectors.  For now, we will follow the guide for [Manual Installation](https://docs.confluent.io/current/connect/managing/install.html#install-connector-manually).
 
 In summary, we will use the standalone worker for this example.
-* Explode a zip file or build into a known (and Kafka accessible) location
+* Build the jar into a known (and Kafka accessible) location  (in the geode-kafka-connector project run './gradlew shadowJar' and the artifacts will be in build/lib/
 * Modify the connect-standalone.properties and point to where the connector is installed.
