The Web Installer page includes instructions to install the old pre-2025.1 Enterprise versions,
which are no longer supported (since we released 2026.1).
This commit removes those redundant and misleading instructions.
Fixes https://github.com/scylladb/scylladb/issues/29099Closesscylladb/scylladb#29103
This commit updates the documentation for the unified installer.
- The Open Source example is replaced with version 2025.1 (Source Available, currently supported, LTS).
- The info about CentOS 7 is removed (no longer supported).
- Java 8 is removed.
- The example for cassandra-stress is removed (as it was already removed on other installation pages).
Fixes https://github.com/scylladb/scylladb/issues/28150Closesscylladb/scylladb#28152
This commit replaces a fixed version name with the variable for the current version
in the instructions for installing a non-default version with Web Installer.
This will make using the installer more user-friendly.

Since JMX server is deprecated, drop them from submodule, build system
and package definition.

This commit extracts the information about the configuration the user should do
right after installation (especially running scylla_setup) to a separate file.
The file is included in the relevant pages, i.e., installing with packages
and installing with Web Installer.
In addition, the examples on the Web Installer page are updated
with supported versions of ScyllaDB.

```console
$ journalctl --user start scylla-server -xe
Failed to add match 'start': Invalid argument
```
`journalctl` expects a match filter as its positional arguments.
but apparently, start is not a filter. we could use `--unit`
to specify a unit though, like:
```console
$ journalctl --user --unit scylla-server.service -xe
```
but it would flood the stdout with the logging messages printed
by scylla. this is not what a typical user expects. probably a better
use experience can be achieved using
```console
$ systemctl --user status scylla-server
```
which also print the current status reported by the service, and
the command line arguments. they would be more informative in typical
use cases.

cassandra-stress connects to "localhost" by default. that's exactly the
use case when we install scylla using the unified installer. so do not
suggest "-node xxx" option. the "xxx" part is but confusing.

Closes#15411
should not "tar" to tar, otherwise we'd have following error:
```
tar (child): tar: Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar (child): Error is not recoverable: exiting now
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
```
as "tar" is not the compressed tarball we want to untar.

strictly speaking, `sh` is not necessarily bash. while `install.sh`
is written in the Bash dialect. and it errors out if it is not executed
with Bash. and we don't need to add "-x" when running the script, if
we have to, we should add it in `install.sh` not ask user to add this
option. also, `install.sh` is executable with a shebang line using
bash, so we can just execute it.
so, in this change, we just launch this script in the command line
sample.

in comparison with java-11-openjdk, java-11-openjdk-headless does not
offer audio and video support, and has less dependencies. for instance,
java-11-openjdk depends on the X11 libraries, and it also provides
icons representing JDK. but since scylla is a server side application,
we don't expect user to run a desktop on it. so there is no need to
support audio and video.
in this change, we just suggest the a "smaller" package, which is
actually also a dependency of java-11-open-jdk.

This commit adds the information on how to install ScyllaDB
without root privileges (with "unified installer", but we've
decided to drop that name - see the page title).
The content taken from the website
https://www.scylladb.com/download/?platform=tar&version=scylla-5.2#open-source
is divided into two sections: "Download and Install" and
"Configure and Run ScyllaDB".
In addition, the "Next Steps" section is also copied from
the website, and adjusted to be in sync with other installation
pages in the docs.
Refs https://github.com/scylladb/scylla-docs/issues/4091Closes#14781
This commit improves the language and syntax on
the Unified Installer page. The changes cover:
- Improving the wording.
- Replacing "Scylla" with "ScyllaDB"
- Fixing language mistakes
- Fixing heading underline so that the headings
render correctly.
This commit replaces the OUTDATED list of platforms supported
by Unified Installer with a link to the "OS Support" page.
In this way, the list of supported OSes will be documented
in one place, preventing outdated documentation.
This is V2 of https://github.com/scylladb/scylladb/pull/14108
This commit moves the installation instruction for the cloud from the [website ](https://www.scylladb.com/download/)to the docs.
The scope:
* Added new files with instructions for AWS, GCP, and Azure.
* Added the new files to the index.
* Updating the "Install ScyllaDB" page to create the "Cloud Deployment" section.
* Adding new bookmarks in other files to create stable links, for example, ".. _networking-ports:"
* Moving common files to the new "installation-common" directory. This step is required to exclude the open source-only files
in the Enterprise repository.
In addition:
- The Configuration Reference file was moved out of the installation
section (it's not about installation at all)
- The links to creating a cluster were removed from the installation
page (as not related).
