Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows 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 instructions for Windows environments. Some commands and environment setup steps are described with Windows paths or terminology first, and there is limited coverage of Linux-specific package managers and shell environments. There are also places where Linux/Mac instructions are less detailed or missing, such as virtual environment activation and package installation nuances.
Recommendations
  • Present Linux, Mac, and Windows instructions in parallel, or start with a neutral/OS-agnostic approach.
  • Provide equal detail for Linux/Mac prerequisites, including common package managers (apt, yum, homebrew) and C++ build tool installation.
  • Include explicit Linux/Mac command examples for all steps, such as activating virtual environments and installing dependencies.
  • Avoid referencing Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) as the default Linux environment for Windows users; instead, treat native Linux and WSL as separate cases.
  • Where possible, use generic shell commands and avoid Windows path conventions unless specifically needed.
  • Add troubleshooting and FAQ sections for Linux/Mac users, similar to those provided for Windows.
