💻 Target components
ntfy client, macOS

💡 Idea
The current documentation lists the default client configuration file as being located either in
~/.config/ntfy/client.yml (for the non-root user)
or
/etc/ntfy/client.yml (for the root user)

and on macOS you can create a ~/.config/ntfy/client.yml file which is used by some linux based tools, but that is not where ntfy looks as described further down in the output of ntfy pub --help

The docs should be updated to be more explicit in noting the OS differences in the "From the CLI" portion and the "Installing ntfy" steps
