Summary
The documentation exclusively provides instructions and examples for installing the Azure File Sync agent on Windows, using Windows-specific tools (msiexec), Windows file paths, and Windows conventions (elevated command prompt, .msi packages, %SYSTEMDRIVE%). There are no references to Linux equivalents, nor any mention of Linux support or alternative installation methods for non-Windows platforms.
Recommendations
- Clarify platform support: Explicitly state whether Azure File Sync agent is Windows-only or if Linux is supported.
- If Linux is supported, provide equivalent silent installation instructions for Linux, including relevant commands (e.g., using .deb/.rpm packages, shell scripts, or package managers like apt/yum).
- Include Linux-specific examples for custom configuration, such as environment variables, file paths, and proxy settings.
- If Linux is not supported, add a note at the top of the documentation to inform users that the instructions are specific to Windows.
