Bias Analysis

Summary
The documentation exhibits a Windows bias in several ways: Windows command prompt and PowerShell instructions are presented before macOS and Linux equivalents, and the Windows-specific 'setx' tool is highlighted for setting environment variables. Linux/macOS instructions are present but appear after Windows, and validation steps (such as restarting the command prompt) are described in Windows-centric terms. There is also a reference to Windows-specific Python setup documentation before mentioning general Python downloads.
Recommendations
  • Present Linux/macOS instructions before or alongside Windows instructions, rather than after.
  • Use cross-platform or platform-neutral language when describing steps (e.g., 'restart your terminal' instead of 'restart the command prompt').
  • Provide validation steps for environment variables for Linux/macOS (e.g., 'echo $APP_CONFIGURATION_ENDPOINT') as well as for Windows.
  • Reference general Python installation documentation first, then provide platform-specific links as needed.
  • Consider grouping environment variable instructions in a table or tabbed format that does not prioritize Windows.
  • Avoid using Windows-specific tools (like 'setx') as the primary example; mention alternatives for Linux/macOS (e.g., editing .bashrc/.zshrc) where appropriate.
