Summary
The documentation generally provides cross-platform guidance, but there are subtle signs of Windows bias. The instruction to extract the sample to a folder with a path length of 260 or fewer characters references a Windows-specific limitation. Additionally, in the 'Run the sample web app' section, the Windows example uses 'py' instead of 'python', which is a Windows-specific launcher, and the order of examples places Linux and macOS before Windows, but the path length warning appears before any OS-specific instructions.
Recommendations
- Clarify that the 260-character path length limitation is specific to Windows, and note that Linux/macOS users are not affected.
- In the 'Run the sample web app' section, explicitly state that 'py' is the Windows Python launcher, and that 'python' should be used on Linux/macOS.
- Consider providing a note or table summarizing OS-specific differences (such as path length limits and Python launcher usage) to improve clarity for all users.
- Ensure that any filesystem or tool limitations are clearly attributed to their respective platforms to avoid confusion.
- Continue to provide parallel examples for all major platforms, and avoid assuming Windows-specific behaviors apply to all users.
