Issue:

The current README file for Hoppscotch Documentation provides steps for setting up the project locally, including installing dependencies and starting the development server. However, it does not specify the required Node.js version for running Mintlify, which can cause issues during setup.

After some research, I found that Mintlify requires Node.js version 19 or higher to function correctly. This crucial detail is currently missing from the README file.

Suggested Solution:

Please consider updating the README file to include a note about the required Node.js version. For example, adding a line under the "Local Development" section could be helpful:
