Bias Analysis

Detected Bias Types
windows_first
powershell_heavy
Summary
The documentation demonstrates Windows bias by presenting Windows Command Prompt and PowerShell instructions before macOS and Linux equivalents for setting environment variables. The Windows instructions are more detailed (e.g., mentioning restarting the command prompt), and PowerShell is given its own section, while Linux and macOS share a generic 'unix' tab. There is no evidence of missing Linux examples or exclusive use of Windows tools, but the ordering and emphasis favor Windows users.
Recommendations
  • Present environment variable instructions in a neutral order (e.g., Linux/macOS first, or alphabetical), or group all OS instructions together for parity.
  • Provide equally detailed instructions for Linux/macOS, including validation steps and any OS-specific caveats (e.g., persistence of environment variables).
  • Avoid giving Windows-specific tools (PowerShell, Command Prompt) their own sections unless Linux/macOS equivalents are also highlighted.
  • Consider adding troubleshooting notes for Linux/macOS users, similar to those provided for Windows (e.g., about restarting the shell).
