Review Create A Project Instructions

[SilentRhetoric]

The instructions at https://solid-ui-components.vercel.app/docs/installation start a user off with the instruction to run npx create solid@latest which does not work on my system.

Additionally, directing users to initialize a project with solid@latest puts them into a Beta version of Solid Start that works somewhat differently to what is currently available in other project templates and documentation in the ecosystem, which could be confusing for people.

Thanks for the input :) I'll update that section in the docs once I'm finished with the cli.

@stav The correct command seems to be npx create-solid@latest

The docs now feature 4 different installation guides :) https://www.solid-ui.com/docs/installation/overview

If it's still missing another framework feel free to open another issue or provide a PR :)
