Outdated Parse Server installs with bootstrap.sh #8513

Issue Description

The getting started section of the parse server guide references the bootstrap.sh script to install the parse server.
The problem is that this script installs an old version of the parse server (it installs 3.9.0) perhaps due to this. So in order to use the latest version I had to upgrade it myself.

Steps to reproduce

Follow the getting started section

Actual Outcome

Parse Server version 3.9.0 is installed

Expected Outcome

Latest version of parse server should have been installed

Environment

Server

  • Parse Server version: 3.9.0
  • Operating system: Debian 11
  • Local or remote host (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Heroku, Digital Ocean, etc): Local

Database

  • System (MongoDB or Postgres): MongoDB
  • Database version: 6.0.5
  • Local or remote host (MongoDB Atlas, mLab, AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, etc): local

    It installs Parse Server 3 and the current version is 6. If no-one has been complaining about this so far then maybe we should remove the bootstrap script complete instead of maintaining it?

    Yeah you guys know better, it would be best to update the docs too in any case to help newbies like me to set up the Parse Server easily

    What's funny is I accidentally did this recently and was scratching my head wondering why version 3 was installed. I assumed I messed something up.

    Does anyone want to update the bootstrap script?
