Summary
The documentation page demonstrates Windows bias primarily in the installation instructions for the Azure Developer CLI, where only a PowerShell-based command is provided and no Linux/macOS equivalent is shown. The use of PowerShell as the default CLI installation method implicitly prioritizes Windows users. There are no explicit Linux or macOS installation commands or references to platform-specific differences, and the documentation does not mention alternative shell environments or package managers commonly used on Linux/macOS. All other CLI commands are cross-platform, but the initial setup is Windows-centric.
Recommendations
  • Provide installation instructions for Linux and macOS, including shell commands (e.g., curl/bash, Homebrew, apt, etc.) alongside the PowerShell command.
  • Add a platform selection tab or section for installation steps, so users can easily find instructions for their OS.
  • Explicitly mention that azd is cross-platform and provide links to official installation guides for all supported operating systems.
  • Include troubleshooting notes or tips for non-Windows environments, such as permissions or dependency requirements.
