Summary
The documentation exhibits a Windows-first bias by listing Windows prerequisites and instructions before Linux and Mac equivalents, referencing Windows-specific tools (Microsoft C++ Build Tools, WSL), and providing more detailed setup instructions for Windows environments. Some commands and environment variable instructions are tailored to Windows (e.g., activation path), and Linux/Mac alternatives are mentioned only as secondary options. There is also a lack of Linux-specific troubleshooting and examples, and some instructions (such as package manager usage) are ambiguous or less detailed for Linux/Mac users.
Recommendations
  • Present prerequisites and setup instructions for Linux, Mac, and Windows in parallel, rather than listing Windows first.
  • Provide equally detailed examples and troubleshooting steps for Linux and Mac environments.
  • Avoid referencing Windows-specific tools (e.g., Microsoft C++ Build Tools, WSL) without offering clear Linux/Mac alternatives.
  • Ensure all command-line examples use cross-platform syntax, or provide separate commands for each OS where necessary.
  • Clarify package manager instructions for Linux and Mac (e.g., apt-get vs. homebrew) and avoid suggesting manual installation of apt-get on Mac.
  • Include Linux/Mac-specific notes for environment variable setup, file paths, and permissions.
  • Add explicit Linux/Mac examples for common tasks, such as activating virtual environments and running the tool.
