Description
Problem to Solve
Currently, the installation page on docs (https://dev.grakn.ai/docs/running-grakn/install-and-run) is unclear because there are multiple ways of installing and then upgrading Grakn.
For instance, right now, we have for linux/mac/windows/docker, how to install either via a managed central repository, and then manually for each of these. Preceding this, we have a section for upgrading Grakn to 1.6.x (https://dev.grakn.ai/docs/running-grakn/install-and-run#upgrading-an-existing-installation-to-grakn-core-16x). However, this only applies for managed installs via repository, not manual downloads.
Proposed Solution
Change Install & Run
to split into two sections:
Repository
Manual
The first will outline the steps of adding the repository and installing from the repository, then running.
The second will outline the steps of downloading from Github and running Grakn from the archives.
Add an Upgrade
sub-tab containing two sections:
Repository
Manual
The first will outline how to upgrade the installed Grakn packages via each package manager. Describe how this will keep the same db
folder, and compatibility issues.
The second will outline how to copy-paste the db
folder manually, and outline compatibility issues.
