Summary
The documentation page shows a Windows bias in the 'Install the VM agent' section, where Windows instructions (MSI installer, file path, executable verification) are presented first and in greater detail than Linux instructions. The Linux instructions are less specific, lacking concrete commands or examples, and do not mention verification steps. The rest of the documentation is mostly platform-neutral, but the agent installation section favors Windows in both order and depth.
Recommendations
  • Present Linux and Windows instructions in parallel, with equal detail and clarity.
  • Provide explicit Linux installation commands (e.g., apt, yum, zypper) and verification steps for the agent version.
  • Include example file paths and commands for Linux agent verification, similar to the Windows example.
  • Avoid listing Windows instructions first by default; alternate or group by platform.
  • Mention both MSI (Windows) and package manager (Linux) methods with equal prominence and detail.
