Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. Command examples and instructions frequently reference Windows-specific tools and patterns, such as PowerShell and Cmd, and these are presented alongside or before Linux alternatives. In the Java section, explicit tabs for Bash, PowerShell, and Cmd are provided, but Bash is not consistently prioritized. The file path examples use backslashes (\), which are Windows conventions. There is a lack of explicit Linux-specific instructions, such as setting environment variables or handling permissions, and no mention of common Linux shells (other than Bash) or package managers. The documentation does not consistently provide parity for Linux users, and Windows-centric terminology and tooling are prevalent.
Recommendations
  • Ensure that Bash (Linux/macOS) examples are presented before or alongside Windows (PowerShell/Cmd) examples, especially in tabbed sections.
  • Include explicit instructions for Linux users, such as setting environment variables, installing prerequisites, and handling file permissions.
  • Use platform-neutral file paths (forward slashes) or provide both Windows and Linux/macOS path examples.
  • Mention Linux package managers (apt, yum, etc.) for installing dependencies where relevant.
  • Avoid Windows-centric terminology (e.g., 'command prompt') in favor of platform-neutral terms like 'terminal'.
  • Review all code and command snippets to ensure Linux/macOS compatibility and provide troubleshooting tips for non-Windows platforms.
