PR summary

This PR updates the “Installation quick-start” section in
doc/users/getting_started/index.rst to direct users to the canonical
installation guide at https://matplotlib.org/stable/#install.

The change removes duplicated and potentially outdated instructions while
preserving the page and keeping the update minimal, as discussed in #29775.

Hi @ka7788158-png thank you for your interest in contributing to Matplotlib! I note that the current include was added recently at #30451, also in response to #29775. Using the include already means we do not duplicate the specific instructions, and I think we are happy with that solution. So I will close this PR.

Thanks @rcomer for the clarification! That makes sense — I missed that the include was
added recently to address this. Appreciate the explanation and for reviewing
the PR.
