Hi @rmtest, welcome to the community! I’ve moved your post to another category so that it’s more likely to get a response. I’m afraid I can’t be much help here, but bumping for visibility!

@rmtest,  
Juniper was not officially released, yet, which means that there are no upgrade instructions for now. You are welcome to try out the `open-release/juniper.alpha1` git tag, but it’s almost certain that some things will break. If you do, please report your issues in this forum, [as others already have](https://discuss.openedx.org/tags/juniper).

I tried to install juniper alpha1 on a clean Ubuntu VM on VirtualBox. Here is the error I received.

 ![edx install](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/openedx/original/1X/cd2d40a3f4e2a9508b4650a11ffbf1ec265e1e37.png)

Hi @mikedkelly, we are still working on the initial alpha release which is likely why you are seeing this issue. I also tried out the moderation tools and moved this post into another Juniper Alpha question to see what that experience would be like.

Thanks for reporting this!
