Confusing about Installation

Feature / Enhancement Description

Be more clear about the different installation options / unify the info in one place

Example Use Case

I think I mess up my installation because I did install parse-server from npm and also I did run the bootstrap file, and I think I have 2 parse servers,
I think I was running the bootstrap version but I had some drama when I tried to add parse server to PM2, adding environment variables, etc..

Also I need clarification about this, because I was editing the docs and In the ubuntu deployment I stated to perform both installations (via npm and via bootstrap)

Also the files and folder structure are not the same

btw: the key generations in the bootstrap script doesn't work at least in ubuntu

Research direction

Start with the Ubuntu deployment documentation linked in the issue and compare its npm and bootstrap installation instructions, including the bootstrap file and the reported key-generation step. Clarify the supported installation options and file layouts in one place, then update the Ubuntu deployment guidance so it no longer implies both installations are required.
