Summary
The documentation provides instructions for setting environment variables on Windows (cmd and PowerShell) before mentioning the Linux/macOS method. Windows-specific tools (setx, PowerShell) are described in detail, with Linux/macOS covered last and more briefly. This ordering and emphasis may subtly prioritize Windows users and workflows.
Recommendations
  • Present environment variable instructions for all platforms in parallel (e.g., a table or side-by-side code blocks), rather than listing Windows first.
  • Give equal detail to Linux/macOS instructions, including notes about shell persistence (e.g., using ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc for permanent changes).
  • Avoid Windows-centric language such as 'If you use the Windows command prompt...' as the primary instruction; instead, introduce all platforms equally.
  • Consider including troubleshooting notes for Linux/macOS users (e.g., how to check environment variables, common shell differences).
