Summary
The documentation page exhibits a Windows bias in several ways: Windows is mentioned as the default development environment, with instructions and tooling (Visual Studio, .NET Core SDK, Simulator.exe) focused on Windows. Linux and macOS are referenced only as alternatives, with links out to external setup guides rather than in-page instructions. Build and run examples, especially for C and C#, rely on Windows-specific tools (Visual Studio, command prompt, Simulator.exe), and troubleshooting tips are Windows-centric. There is a lack of explicit Linux/macOS command-line examples, and the TPM simulator is referenced only as a Windows executable, with no mention of Linux-compatible alternatives.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit Linux/macOS instructions and examples for all supported languages, including installation, build, and run steps.
  • Document how to run the TPM simulator on Linux/macOS, or provide links to cross-platform alternatives.
  • Present prerequisites and environment setup for Linux/macOS equally and before or alongside Windows instructions, not as an afterthought.
  • Include troubleshooting tips relevant to Linux/macOS (e.g., compiler issues, permissions) in addition to Windows-specific ones.
  • Ensure all code samples and shell commands are provided in both Windows (cmd/powershell) and Linux/macOS (bash/zsh) formats.
  • Clarify which steps are platform-specific and which are cross-platform, to help users navigate based on their OS.
