Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias in the certificate generation section: it instructs users to open a command prompt in their user profile folder using Windows-specific instructions (Win+R, %USERPROFILE%), and all command examples are shown in PowerShell syntax. There are no equivalent instructions or examples for Linux or macOS users, nor is there guidance on how to run the step CLI commands in a Unix shell or where to find the user profile directory on those platforms. The rest of the guide is platform-neutral, focusing on the Azure portal and MQTTX app, which are cross-platform.
Recommendations
- Add Linux/macOS instructions for opening a terminal and locating the user profile directory (e.g., '~/').
- Provide shell command examples in bash/zsh syntax alongside PowerShell, or use platform-neutral syntax.
- Clarify that the step CLI commands work on all major platforms and provide installation links for Linux/macOS.
- Explicitly mention any platform-specific considerations for certificate file paths or permissions.
- Consider reordering instructions so that platform-neutral guidance appears first, or present Windows and Linux/macOS instructions in parallel.
