You can just do the command-line installation twice, and give it different
configuration directories ("~/koha-dev" vs. '"~/koha-pro" or whatever).  All
the zebra and other config files will live in there for their respective
installations.  These are outside the codebase repository.

You could have an arbitrary number of DBs running on the same code, but you
will have to get remember to update each at updatedatabase time.
