They’re actually two different things. 🙂

The `/wizard` is for UI and admin settings to get your site setup after installation, and is accessed through your site/browser.

`discourse-setup` is part of the installation process itself which (in part) allocates server resources, and is run from the server.

You can re-run `discourse-setup` multiple times and it won’t overwrite any of your site data.
