Joseph Witt commented on NIFI-658:
----------------------------------
100% on board Aldrin!
Our getting started page should morph to support two personas
1) I am someone who wants to pull down a convenience binary, unpack this thing,
fire it up, and see what it can do. Help me quickly!
2) I am a developer. I am really curious about the code. I want to build it.
Be able to tweak it. Show me what i need to do to prep my environment and do a
full build.
Right now we are only addressing the needs of the second persona.
Thanks
Joe

> I think we need to call out how to "get NiFI running."
> Right now, the only path that is immediately obvious is to do the development
> path which is out of the realm of many people who may be nothing more than
> just users and/or want to sample the application before delving in further.
> Otherwise, your path is to go through nifi docs and find your way to the
> admin guide just to run the latest release.
> We are making a more arduous path than necessary and subjecting users to a
> path that may have no relevance to their intended usage.
