Bias Analysis

Detected Bias Types
windows_first
powershell_heavy
Summary
The documentation demonstrates a mild Windows bias, primarily in the 'Configure an environment variable' section. Windows command prompt and PowerShell instructions are presented before Linux/macOS equivalents, and PowerShell is called out specifically. The initial Node.js installation guidance references Windows and WSL before mentioning Linux. However, Linux/macOS instructions are present and correct, and the main code samples are platform-agnostic.
Recommendations
  • Present environment variable instructions in a neutral order (e.g., Linux/macOS first, or group all OS instructions together without prioritization).
  • Avoid calling out Windows/PowerShell instructions before Linux equivalents; consider parallel presentation or tabs.
  • Include explicit Linux installation guidance for Node.js, not just referencing WSL.
  • Where possible, use generic shell commands (e.g., 'export') as the primary example, with OS-specific alternatives in expandable sections.
  • Review other sections for subtle prioritization of Windows tools or terminology and ensure parity in Linux/macOS references.
