kafka jdbc sink connector standalone error

I am trying to insert data into a postgres database from a topic in kafka. I am using the following command to load

./bin/connect-standalone etc/schema-registry/connect-avro-standalone.properties etc/kafka-connect-jdbc/sink-quickstart-mysql.properties

The sink-quickstart-mysql.properties is as follows

name=test-sink-mysql-jdbc-autoincrement
connector.class=io.confluent.connect.jdbc.JdbcSinkConnector
tasks.max=1
topics=third_topic
connection.url=jdbc:postgres://localhost:5432/postgres
connection.user=postgres
connection.password=postgres
auto.create=true

The error I am getting is

The postgres jar file is already there in the folder. Can someone advise?

Thanks, Ashley

This lines are the most important from your log:

java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException: org.apache.kafka.connect.errors.ConnectException: Failed to find any class that implements Connector and which name matches io.confluent.connect.jdbc.JdbcSinkConnector, available connectors are:...

It seems, that you didn't install kafka-connect-jdbc connector

Check your plugin.path property in etc/schema-registry/connect-avro-standalone.properties and ensure that the line for plugin.path is uncommented.

If not using Confluent Platform, you will need to create under that plugin.path directory, another directory for the jdbc plugin: ex. kafka-connect-jdbc and put all needed jars there ex. kafka-connect-jdbc-5.1.0.jar, its dependencies, and your jdbc drivers.
