Topic: Is it okay to run bash iRedMail.sh after following the upgrading steps

==== REQUIRED BASIC INFO OF YOUR IREDMAIL SERVER ====
- iRedMail version (check /etc/iredmail-release): 1.6.0 (initially 1.4.0. I followed the upgrade tutorials up to 1.6.0 so this number was updated manually)
- Deployed with iRedMail Easy or the downloadable installer? I Forgot.
- Linux/BSD distribution name and version:  CentOS SELinux 8 x64
- Store mail accounts in which backend (LDAP/MySQL/PGSQL): PGSQL
- Web server (Apache or Nginx): Nginx
- Manage mail accounts with iRedAdmin-Pro? No.
- [IMPORTANT] Related original log or error message is required if you're experiencing an issue.
====

The initial version I installed was iRedMail 1.4.0.
I have followed all the upgrade steps from 1.4.1 all the way up to 1.6.0.

But then when I ran:

# sudo service sogod restart

Resulting in:

Redirecting to /bin/systemctl restart sogod.service
Failed to restart sogod.service: Unit sogod.service not found.

However, I did not notice that Sogo wasn't fully installed as I was doing the upgrade. Why?
Firstly, because I have never used Sogo until now.
Secondly, because all the tables in PGSQL exist, all the table upgrades were successful (from 1.4.1 to 1.6.0 upgrade steps).

So, the question is:
Is it okay for me to re-install sogo by running

bash /iRedMail-1.4.0/iRedMail.sh

Or is it better that I download iRedMail-1.6.0 first and run:

bash /iRedMail-1.6.0/iRedMail.sh

Because I'm afraid if I run from the iRedMail-1.4.0 I will need to redo all the upgrade steps from 1.4.1 to 1.6.0 but if I run from the iRedMail-1.6.0, I'm afraid that the whole database is going to get rewritten.

Thank you!

You have to install and configure SOGo manually in this case. sad
That's one of the reasons we developed iRedMail Easy platform for such case:
