Summary:
The documentation presents environment variable setup instructions for Windows (Command Prompt and PowerShell) before Linux/macOS, and provides both setx (cmd) and PowerShell commands, which are Windows-specific. Linux/macOS instructions are present but always listed last. There are no missing Linux examples, but the ordering and inclusion of multiple Windows shell variants may subtly prioritize Windows users.
Recommendations:
- Alternate the order of platform instructions (sometimes show Linux/macOS first, or group all platforms equally).
- Consider grouping all environment variable instructions together in a table or tabbed interface, so no platform is visually prioritized.
- Avoid providing multiple Windows shell variants unless truly necessary, or provide equivalent depth for Linux (e.g., bash, zsh, fish).
- Explicitly state that all steps are cross-platform except where noted, to reinforce parity.
- Where possible, use platform-agnostic language and examples (e.g., 'set the environment variable' rather than 'run this Windows command').
