docs: use `pnpm add <pkg>` instead of `pnpm install <pkg>`

[jferrettiboke]

Describe the issue

It should be pnpm add @aws-sdk/client-s3 instead of pnpm install @aws-sdk/client-s3.

pnpm install is used to install all dependencies for a project while pnpm add <pkg> is used to install a package and any packages that it depends on.

More info (official source):

• https://pnpm.io/cli/install

Hi @jferrettiboke - thanks for sharing this.

I attempted to run pnpm install @aws-sdk/client-s3 and pnpm add @aws-sdk/client-s3 in different projects and upon checking the dependencies, they both have same dependencies installed. Are you seeing different? I'll double check with the team to further verify.

Best, John

@aBurmeseDev pnpm install <pkg> does the same as pnpm add <pkg> today, but it might stop functioning that way in future versions since the official docs clarify the difference between the two. It might be that pnpm install <pkg> was used in past versions, and the PNPM team didn't want to remove support for it right away after introducing pnpm add <pkg>.
