Description

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 are not developers 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.
