Install
Sign up without installing anythingWho it is for
This skill fits people who want a Postgres development platform and to start hosted. Officially Supabase is written as a Postgres development platform that covers Firebase-like capabilities with enterprise-grade open-source tools. The main path is to register and use it directly; you do not have to install anything first. It also fits people who will later consider self-hosting and local development, but that is not the first attempt.
It does not fit treating this repository as an install package you must clone to start. If you only want the capability boundary first: the source names a hosted Postgres database, authentication and authorization, and an auto-generated API. On the JavaScript (TypeScript) side it lists supabase-js、postgrest-js、auth-js、realtime-js、storage-js、functions-js.
The official repository is https://github.com/supabase/supabase The full documentation entry is written as supabase.com/docs Operate from that page and the repository notes. Do not invent an install command that never appeared.
First attempt in 3 minutes
Follow only the official path “register and start, no install required.”
Prerequisite: you can open the hosted sign-up flow and you agree to create a remote project. First confirm: sign-up opens a project on the remote, not just reading docs locally. If you do not yet want to create a project, first only open the documentation entry and compare the capability list.
Install location: register and start per the official notes. Do not run a CLI that never appeared. Self-hosting and local development are mentioned separately; do not take them the first time.
Low-risk task: create an empty hosted project and only read whether you can see entries for Postgres, auth, and the auto-generated API. Do not write business tables, do not attach a client language that never appeared, do not deploy self-hosting. If you compare clients, only check the JavaScript package names already listed on this page.
Success signal: you can open a hosted project without installing a package on this machine, and you see hosted database, auth, or auto-generated API entries that match the source. If an agent tells you to run an install command that never appeared, stop.
Usage cases
Case 1: Start a hosted project with zero install. The source says you can register and start using it without installing anything. It fits people who first want to verify that hosted Postgres is enough. Sign-up creates remote resources; confirm the account and project purpose before you act.
Case 2: Compare official JavaScript clients instead of self-hosting first. In the JavaScript (TypeScript) row the source lists supabase-js as well as postgrest-js, auth-js, realtime-js, storage-js, functions-js. It fits people who already have a frontend or Node project and only want to confirm package names match the official table. The source does not write commands to install those packages; do not invent npm i. Self-hosting and local development are only written as “also possible”; if there is no command, do not invent one.
Boundaries
The main path is register-and-use, not cloning this repository. Self-hosting and local development are mentioned, but no command is given, so the first attempt must not write them as required steps. The capability list only writes hosted Postgres, authentication and authorization, and an auto-generated API; do not add product modules that never appeared.
The client table only gives these JavaScript (TypeScript) package names. Do not invent other languages from common knowledge. The full documentation entry is supabase.com/docs The repository page is https://github.com/supabase/supabase If an agent gives an installer that never appeared, treat “start without installing” as authoritative.
