Docs: Setting up the Environment uses node v22 but warning is produced on usage

[seekayel]

Version of Hardhat

2.22.5

What happened?

I followed the 2. Setting up the Environment steps for MacOS (https://hardhat.org/tutorial/setting-up-the-environment) which instructed me to use nvm with node v22. When I then tried npx hardhat init in 3. Creating a new Hardhat project it gave me the following warning:

WARNING: You are currently using Node.js v22.3.0, which is not supported by Hardhat. This can lead to unexpected behavior. See https://hardhat.org/nodejs-versions

I can open a PR to downgrade docs to instruct newbies to use Node.js v20 if that is the correct fix until 2024-10-29 when v22 goes from CURRENT to LTS (https://github.com/nodejs/Release)

Also, willing to open PR on hardhat cli to correct the warning message if given some direction as to where/how.

Minimal reproduction steps

nvm install 22
nvm use 22
npm install hardhat
npx hardhat init

Hey @seekayel, this is an artifact of our release process. The docs have been updated before the Hardhat release with support for v22 has happened.
