Summary
The documentation demonstrates a mild Windows bias, particularly in the 'Configure an environment variable' section. Windows command prompt and PowerShell instructions are listed before Linux/macOS equivalents, and PowerShell is given its own example. The Node.js installation instructions reference Windows and WSL before Linux, and links for getting started with Node.js are Windows-centric. However, Linux/macOS commands are present and correct, and most code samples are platform-agnostic.
Recommendations
- Present Linux/macOS instructions before or alongside Windows instructions, rather than after.
- Provide links for installing Node.js on Linux/macOS, not just Windows.
- Avoid giving Windows-specific tools (PowerShell, setx) precedence over cross-platform or Linux-native methods.
- Consider grouping environment variable instructions by platform, or using tabs for Windows, macOS, and Linux equally.
- Explicitly state that all code samples work on Linux/macOS as well as Windows.
