## Summary
Clarifies that installing the Supabase CLI globally via npm is not
supported.

The CLI already throws a clear error when attempting a global npm
install, but the documentation did not mention this.
This update adds a clear note to the Node.js installation section and
points users to supported alternatives.

## Summary by CodeRabbit

* **Documentation**
* Added a clear admonition in the getting started guide clarifying that
the Supabase CLI should not be installed globally via npm. Recommends
Homebrew, Scoop, or the standalone binary, and suggests using npx or a
local/dev dependency as alternatives. The guidance appears both after
the Node.js note and within the npm install tab.

<sub>✏️ Tip: You can customize this high-level summary in your review
settings.</sub>
