1. Backup your Joget v6 installation files and v6 database.
2. Install Joget DX into in a temporary separate folder in your server as we new folder using the Windows or Linux Installer from https://www.joget.org/product/joget-dx/ . We will copy some files from here to your Joget v5/v6 folders.
3. Make the above changes in startup script (add new "-javaagent" argument and "-Xmx" value) and copy in the Glowroot files to ".\wflow\glowroot\".
4. Delete all the files in "\work" folder in ".\apache-tomcat-8.5.41" folder. These are cache files and can be safely deleted.
5. Delete the "\jw" and "\jwdesigner" folders in ".\apache-tomcat-8.5.41\webapps" folder. Joget will re-create the "/jw" folder on startup.
6. Delete the "jw.war" and "jwdesigner.war" files.
7. Copy Joget DX's "jw.war" file into ".\apache-tomcat-8.5.41\webapps\". The source "jw.war" file is located in the same path as in v5/v6.
8. If necessary, edit the database configuration file ".\wflow\app_datasource-default.properties" to point to your existing v6 database.
9. Start Joget Apache Tomcat and monitor the joget.log and catalina.log for errors.

Run Joget DX In A New Folder And Use My Existing Database

A second quicker option where Joget DX is a new installation:

1. Backup your Joget v6 database or clone it for Joget DX's use (Joget DX will automatically create the new tables and fields it needs).
2. Install Joget DX in a new folder using the Windows or Linux Installer from https://www.joget.org/product/joget-dx/.
3. Copy over all files from v6 ".\wflow\*" folder to the same folder in Joget DX.
4. Ensure Joget DX can access the v6 database (check the database settings in "app_datasource-default.properties" file using a text editor).
5. Optional: Edit the "./apache-tomcat-8.5.41/conf/server.xml" if you wish to run Joget DX on a different port instead of "8080".
6. Edit the "joget-start.bat or .sh" file using a text editor to set a higher "-Xmx" memory for better performance.
7. Start Joget Apache Tomcat and monitor the joget.log and catalina.log for errors.

Run Joget DX In A New Folder And Use The Default New Database

Fastest option, especially as a development server:

1. Install Joget DX in a new folder using the Windows or Linux Installer from https://www.joget.org/product/joget-dx/.
2. Run the "joget-enterprise-setup-7.0.exe" installer if you are on Windows or unzip the "joget-enterprise-setup-7.0.tar.gz" if you are on Linux.

Final Note

Lastly, you can download and install new plugins specially for Joget DX from https://archives.joget.org/addons/ to try out.
