Summary
The documentation demonstrates a strong Windows bias. All installation instructions, prerequisites, and examples are exclusively for Windows operating systems. Only Windows versions are listed as supported, and all command-line and automation examples use PowerShell or Windows-specific tools (e.g., dmgcmd.exe, .msi installers, editing Windows config files, referencing Windows services and registry keys). There is no mention of Linux or macOS support, nor are there any examples or guidance for non-Windows environments.
Recommendations
  • Clearly state in the prerequisites and introduction whether Linux or macOS are supported or not. If not, explain why.
  • If Linux support is available or planned, provide equivalent installation, configuration, and automation instructions for Linux (e.g., using shell scripts, systemd services, Linux file paths).
  • Include Linux/macOS examples alongside PowerShell, such as Bash or CLI commands, and reference cross-platform tools where possible.
  • If the self-hosted integration runtime is Windows-only by design, make this explicit at the top of the documentation to set user expectations.
  • Review all references to Windows tools (e.g., registry, services, .NET Framework, MSI installers) and, where possible, offer platform-agnostic alternatives or note their Windows specificity.
  • Add a section addressing common questions about cross-platform support and provide links to any roadmap or feedback channels for non-Windows support.
