Summary
The documentation consistently uses PowerShell commands for project setup and package installation, with no mention of Linux/macOS equivalents (e.g., Bash). All CLI and script-running examples use PowerShell syntax, which may confuse or exclude users on Linux or macOS. There is no guidance or parity for non-Windows environments, even though Node.js is cross-platform.
Recommendations
- Provide Bash equivalents for all PowerShell commands (e.g., 'mkdir mapsDemo && cd mapsDemo && npm init', 'npm install ...', 'node search.js').
- Explicitly mention that commands work on Linux/macOS and Windows, or provide OS-specific tabs or callouts.
- Use generic shell commands (e.g., 'npm install ...') where possible, or show both PowerShell and Bash syntax.
- Add a note that Node.js and Azure Maps SDK are cross-platform and can be used on Linux/macOS as well as Windows.
- Avoid using Windows-specific command syntax unless necessary, and ensure Linux users are not excluded from setup instructions.
