Best way to upgrade to Grav 2

First of all, awesome that Grav is still alive and kicking and that this new version has been created. I have a question.

I would like to do my update locally on my laptop and then replace the files on the hosting. Should I be able to run the update when running the test server on my laptop? I tried it and it failed, but is it supposed to?

edit: I have tried it on my hosting, too, but I get the same problem as with the test server: When I get to the step where I can click "Open staged install" I click and get a 500 error.

Okay, I found my problem. There was an option in the system.yaml added by the update that had the wrong indentation for some reason (4 spaces instead of 2). This option was added to the "images" section, and contained url_actions: true.

to answer my own question: yes, the upgrade works fine on the test server, apart from above problem, which may or may not be an issue specific for my setup.
