That’s fine but noobs don’t know what steps to take to make it work and we are intimidated by advanced options and menus filled with such options.

There needs to be an Install button on Knots even if Core is installed and running.

That install button doesn’t need to be operational but it needs to be there and perhaps it should be colored grey or something to indicate that the button is not yet functional for a reason. Then, when users see the button, they go to click it, and it doesn’t do anything. They ask “Why didn’t the button work?”.

Then they see words that the devs could choose to display that say “in order to install Knots you must uninstall Core. To uninstall Core, select Core, scroll down to Actions, and select Uninstall”

That would be clean.
