Where are you executing CouchDB (AWS, Google, Azure, Installer in Linux or Windows, etc)?
Which CouchDB are you using?

Anyway we are currently offering the latest stable version of CouchDB 1.6.1. CouchDB 2.0 is not yet considered as stable and, as far as there is a major version change, there are compatibility issues between the two banches 1.x and 2.x. As far as i know CouchDB has not provided a guide or method in order to migrate data from 1.x to 2.x yet.

In order to install Fauxton you just need to follow this steps:

sudo apt-get install npm
sudo apt-get install node
sudo apt-get install git
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/nodejs /usr/bin/node
sudo npm install -g fauxton

Hi @biapar,

Thank you for using Bitnami. As @silvio mentioned we are providing CouchDB 1.6.1 in bitnami.com. Regarding the new version, CouchDB 2.x is already available in its website, sorry for the wrong information. We're going to open a task on our side to start working on the new version as soon as possible. We'll also modify the installer to configure Fauxton instead of Futon in the stack.

Let us know if you have any other questions related to any of the Bitnami products.

Thank you for using Bitnami.

Regards,
Jota
