Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows bias, with instructions and examples primarily focused on Windows development environments. Visual Studio (Windows-only) is the central tool, and prerequisites assume a Windows machine. Installation steps, file paths, and commands (e.g., vcpkg, bootstrap-vcpkg.bat, .cmd examples) are Windows-centric. Linux development is mentioned only as a container target, not as a development environment, and Linux equivalents for key steps (such as vcpkg installation, template directories, and Docker Desktop requirements) are missing or relegated to secondary notes. CLI examples and project setup steps are almost exclusively Windows-oriented, and Linux development workflows are not described in parity.
Recommendations
  • Provide explicit instructions for setting up a Linux development environment, including installation of Visual Studio alternatives (e.g., VS Code) and required dependencies.
  • Include Linux-specific examples for vcpkg installation (using bootstrap-vcpkg.sh), file paths, and Docker setup.
  • Offer parity in project template installation steps for Linux (e.g., where to place template files in Linux home directories).
  • Clarify how to use the CLI and Azure IoT Edge Dev Tool on Linux, with step-by-step Linux shell commands.
  • Highlight cross-platform development options at the beginning, and avoid assuming Windows as the default.
  • Add troubleshooting and tips for common Linux issues (e.g., permissions, Docker group membership).
  • Ensure all code snippets and commands are provided for both Windows (cmd/PowerShell) and Linux (bash) environments.
