Upgrading from 1.0.3 to 2.0.0 fails

[craigpfeifer]

Description

I upgraded my verba 1.0.3 install to 2.0.0 and I cannot create a local verba instance. When I click on 'Local' I get the error:

Failed to connect to Weaviate Collection may not have been created properly.! Unexpected status code: 422, with response body: {'error': [{'message': 'class already exists: found similar class "VERBA_Config"'}]}.

How can I wipe my existing install or migrate it to 2.0.0?

• pip install goldenverba
• pip install from source

One solution for embedded weaviate (nuclear option):

1. go to local storage directory (default is here)
2. delete all files
3. restart verba verba restart
4. reload https://localhost:8000
5. click on local
6. happy verba-ing!
