Summary
The documentation page displays Windows bias by addressing Windows-specific issues (WinUtils.exe) prominently in the prerequisites, providing detailed steps for Windows users, and referencing Windows environment variables and file paths. There is no equivalent troubleshooting or setup guidance for Linux/macOS users, and Windows solutions are described before noting they are unnecessary on other platforms.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit troubleshooting steps for Linux/macOS users, even if fewer issues are expected.
  • Provide Linux/macOS equivalents for environment variable setup and file paths where relevant.
  • Reorder platform-specific instructions so that Windows, Linux, and macOS are treated equally, or group them under clear platform headings.
  • Clarify that certain steps (e.g., WinUtils.exe) are only needed for Windows, and provide a brief explanation of why Linux/macOS do not require them.
  • Include links or references to common Linux/macOS Spark setup issues, if any, to ensure parity in support.
