Current Limitation
(originally posted by @flovilmart in https://github.com/parse-community/parse-server/pull/4960)
README / onboarding is so confusing. We have zillions of ways to get started. Now the easiest way to get a server started in minutes (given you have node and mongo) is through npx.
Feature / Enhancement Description
Letting anyone create a server with npx @parseplatform/init

Research direction
Start with the README and onboarding material referenced in the issue, then inspect the proposed npx @parseplatform/init entry point and the linked pull request. Done means a newcomer with Node.js and MongoDB can use that command to start a Parse Server in minutes, with the setup path documented clearly.
