Summary
The documentation provides both Linux and Windows instructions, but there are signs of Windows bias: Windows tools and patterns (such as GUI-based steps and use of 'where' for binary location) are described in detail, sometimes before or with more clarity than Linux equivalents. Windows-specific terminology (e.g., %PATH%, .exe) is used throughout, and some steps (like user creation and environment variable setup) are more thoroughly explained for Windows. Linux instructions are present but sometimes less detailed or require external references. There is a lack of parity in example commands for finding binaries and setting environment variables, with Windows relying on GUI and built-in tools, while Linux uses shell commands with less explanation.
Recommendations
  • Ensure Linux instructions are as detailed and explicit as Windows instructions, including step-by-step guidance for user creation, environment variable setup, and binary location.
  • Provide equivalent Linux command-line examples for all Windows GUI or tool-based steps (e.g., use 'which' or 'find' for locating binaries, and show how to update .profile or .bashrc).
  • Avoid Windows-first ordering in sections; present Linux and Windows instructions side-by-side or in parallel tabs.
  • Clarify any differences in prerequisites or setup between platforms, and ensure both are covered equally.
  • Include troubleshooting steps and common issues for Linux users, as is often done for Windows.
  • Use platform-neutral language where possible, and avoid assuming Windows as the default environment.
