Summary
The documentation demonstrates a subtle Windows bias in several areas. In the 'Install web server' section, users are instructed to open a PowerShell prompt if on Windows, but a Bash prompt if on Mac or Linux. However, the SSH command examples use Windows-style paths (e.g., .\Downloads\myKey.pem) and do not provide Linux/Mac equivalents (e.g., ~/Downloads/myKey.pem). There are no explicit Linux command examples for SSH, and the instructions consistently mention Windows tools and patterns first or exclusively. This may cause confusion for Linux users and suggests a prioritization of Windows environments.
Recommendations
  • Provide both Windows (PowerShell/CMD) and Linux/Mac (Bash) command examples side-by-side, especially for SSH commands and file paths.
  • When referencing prompts, mention Bash first or equally with PowerShell to avoid Windows-first ordering.
  • Include notes or tips for Linux/Mac users regarding file path conventions and command syntax differences.
  • Ensure that all instructions and screenshots are platform-agnostic or offer alternatives for both Windows and Linux/Mac users.
