Fix: update hatch install instructions to use the hatch installers rather than pipx in our tutorial #301

Description

We have experienced significant problems with installing hatch using pipx. mostly because pipx is really hard to install.
but for scientists i do think a global installation is ideal.

As such as should update this lesson to do two things

  1. at the beginning of the lesson it should tell the user to insall hatch using the installers. following the instructions on the hatch page linked here.
  2. REMOVE any mention of pipx!! phew.
  3. then the lesson can proceed as it is

it might also be helpful to add a small requirements box.

it can say something like this:

:::{note}
You need to have python installed in order to create a python package. If you don't already have python installed, then hatch will install it for you. If you do already have hatch installed, then you are good to go!
:::

this is the section you'd be editing on that intro lesson called get to know hatch.

When you open the issue, you can add to the top

closes #260 #278

there might be another issue related to pipx that can also be closed once a pr for this issue is merged.
This is a beginner friendly issue!
