I had ArangoDB 3.3.19 installed on Arch Linux. I noticed that the version in AUR was updated to 3.4, so I did this upgrade:
yay -S arangodb
However, when I started arangod after the upgrade I received this message:

The control script /etc/init.d/arangodb does not exist on Arch Linux. Is it possible or recommended to upgrade ArangoDB using the control script method? If yes, how is it done?
Or is the best method to do two steps like this?
yay -S arangodb
sudo /usr/bin/arangod --database.auto-upgrade true
It is best to refer to the official docs:
