Summary
The documentation consistently uses PowerShell commands (e.g., mkdir, cd, npm init, npm install, node search.js) for all shell-based instructions, which are Windows-centric. No Linux or macOS shell equivalents (such as bash or sh) are provided, and there is no mention of cross-platform compatibility for these commands. This may create the impression that the guide is primarily intended for Windows users and could hinder Linux/macOS users who expect bash/zsh syntax.
Recommendations
  • Provide both PowerShell (Windows) and bash (Linux/macOS) command examples for all shell instructions, or use bash as the default for broader cross-platform compatibility.
  • Explicitly mention that the commands are cross-platform where applicable, or note any platform-specific differences.
  • Where screenshots or UI instructions are given, clarify if the steps are identical across platforms or provide alternatives if not.
  • Consider using 'terminal' or 'shell' instead of 'PowerShell' in code block labels unless the syntax is truly PowerShell-specific.
  • Add a short section or note at the beginning clarifying that the SDK and instructions are cross-platform and that examples are provided for both Windows and Linux/macOS users.
