Bias Analysis

Detected Bias Types
windows_first
powershell_heavy
Summary
The documentation demonstrates a mild Windows bias in the 'Configure an environment variable' section, where Windows command prompt and PowerShell instructions are presented before Linux/macOS equivalents. PowerShell and Windows-specific tools (setx) are explicitly mentioned, while Linux/macOS instructions are grouped last. The Node.js installation prerequisite also references Windows and WSL before Linux, subtly prioritizing Windows environments.
Recommendations
  • Present Linux/macOS and Windows instructions side-by-side or in parallel tabs, rather than listing Windows first.
  • Avoid language that suggests Windows is the default or primary platform (e.g., 'installing Node.js either directly on Windows or using WSL'). Instead, mention all platforms equally.
  • Where possible, use cross-platform commands (e.g., 'export' for environment variables) in main examples, and provide platform-specific notes as needed.
  • Include explicit instructions for Linux package managers (apt, yum, etc.) for Node.js installation, not just links.
  • Consider providing a table or tabbed interface for environment variable setup, with equal prominence for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
