Simplify - Get started with QuestDB from the binaries
Describe the requested changes:
-
This page could be simplified. The most impactful change: Do not start with the "Any (No JVM)" version. It forces us to bother users with the Java version, JAVA_HOME env. variable, etc. That's scary, especially for non-Java folks. If we start with the OS-specific versions and leave the "No JVM" version in some "for experts" sections it will simplify the flow quite a bit.
-
Confirm the commands used on this page to be correct
-
"Next steps" points to the command-line page, so it should probably be moved to before "Upgrade QuestDB version"; Upgrade QuestDB version section level needs to be moved up.
Alternatively, we could merge various installation methods into a single page. This looks nice: - https://materialize.com/docs/get-started/ (thanks to @pswu11 for the idea) https://go.dev/doc/install

@Rutam21 Assigned to you but I also added more to the task as I noted more problems.
