Summary
The documentation demonstrates a mild Windows bias, particularly in the 'Install web server' section. It instructs users to open a Bash prompt if on Mac or Linux, but a PowerShell prompt if on Windows, and the SSH command example uses Windows path syntax ('.\Downloads\lb-key-pair.pem'), which is PowerShell/Windows-specific. There are no explicit Linux shell examples or Linux-first instructions, and Windows terminology is presented before Linux/Mac alternatives.
Recommendations
  • Provide both Windows and Linux/Mac command examples for SSH, using appropriate path syntax (e.g., './Downloads/lb-key-pair.pem' for Linux/Mac, '.\Downloads\lb-key-pair.pem' for Windows).
  • Explicitly mention that Bash is available on Windows via WSL, and provide instructions for using it.
  • When referencing prompts, list Linux/Mac first or equally with Windows, rather than defaulting to Windows-first phrasing.
  • Include a note or table summarizing the differences in command syntax between platforms for key steps.
  • Ensure that any tool or pattern mentioned (e.g., PowerShell) is matched with its Linux/Mac equivalent (e.g., Bash, Terminal) and that examples are provided for both.
