supabase
Add minimum Node.js version requirement to CLI docs (Node 16 fails)
Link Supabase CLI documentation → Node.js installation tab
Describe the problem
The Node.js installation tab suggests running:
npx supabase --help
However, the page does not specify the minimum required Node.js version.
On my machine with Node 16, running npx supabase results in runtime errors and the CLI fails to start.
The CLI only works correctly starting from Node 20+.
This can confuse new users and create onboarding friction, as the Node.js tab seems to imply that the CLI will run on any Node environment.
Describe the improvement Add a clear note to the Node.js section, such as: “Supabase CLI requires Node.js 20+ or higher when used via npx.”
Or display a version requirement badge on the tab.
