Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias in the certificate generation section, where instructions are tailored for Windows users (e.g., opening a command prompt in %USERPROFILE% and using PowerShell syntax). There are no equivalent Linux or macOS instructions or examples provided for certificate creation, and the initial guidance is Windows-centric. The rest of the guide is platform-neutral, especially when using MQTTX, but the critical setup steps lack Linux parity.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit instructions and example commands for Linux and macOS users, including how to open a terminal and navigate to the home directory.
  • Provide bash/zsh shell command equivalents for certificate generation using step CLI.
  • Mention Linux/macOS file paths (e.g., $HOME instead of %USERPROFILE%) and clarify any platform-specific differences in file handling.
  • Ensure that screenshots and instructions do not assume a Windows environment unless necessary, and offer alternatives for other platforms.
  • Consider a 'Platform differences' callout box in the prerequisites or certificate generation section.
