Summary
The documentation consistently uses PowerShell commands for project setup, package installation, and running scripts, with no mention of Linux/macOS equivalents (e.g., Bash). This may confuse or exclude users on non-Windows platforms. The use of PowerShell is presented as the default, and there are no alternative examples for Linux users, despite Node.js and npm being cross-platform.
Recommendations
  • Provide Bash equivalents for all PowerShell commands (e.g., use 'mkdir mapsDemo && cd mapsDemo && npm init' and 'npm install ...').
  • When showing how to run scripts, include both 'node search.js' (which works cross-platform) and clarify that the command works on Windows, Linux, and macOS.
  • Explicitly mention that all steps are applicable to Linux/macOS, and note any platform-specific differences if present.
  • Consider using generic shell commands (e.g., Bash) in examples, or show both PowerShell and Bash side-by-side for parity.
  • Add a note in the prerequisites or setup section about cross-platform compatibility, and link to Node.js installation instructions for Linux/macOS.
