What’s the difference between `dgraphloader` and `dgraph live`?

The [docs](https://docs.dgraph.io/v0.7.6/deploy/#bulk-data-loading) only mention `dgraphloader`, while the [tour](https://tour.dgraph.io/moredata/1/) only mentions `dgraph live`.

How do we run dgraphloader? I could not find the executable in the docker image.

Where did you found that name? There is “Bulkload” and “Live load”.

ohhh, I get it. You’re using an old docs. You should go to [Get started with Dgraph](https://docs.dgraph.io/deploy/#bulk-data-loading)

Old versions are not supported. We can’t help with old versions.

I have a script for this if you need, but you can see the [Bulkload](https://docs.dgraph.io/deploy/#bulk-data-loading) docs.  
The script: [GitHub - OpenDgraph/Dgraph-Bulk-Script: Just a simple Sh to use Dgraph's Bulk Loader.](https://github.com/MichelDiz/Dgraph-Bulk-Script)

One is “offline” and the other is “online”.

Cheers.
