Summary
The documentation exhibits some Windows bias, particularly in the Python quickstart where Windows-specific commands and instructions are presented before their Linux equivalents. The presence of a 'powershell' pivot (even though its content is not shown here) suggests a focus on Windows tooling. In the Python section, Windows activation commands are listed first, and Linux instructions are secondary. There are no explicit Linux-specific tools or troubleshooting tips, and the documentation does not provide parity in example outputs or screenshots for Linux environments. However, the main commands for running the emulator and applications are cross-platform (bash/Docker), and Java/C# instructions are generally platform-neutral.
Recommendations
  • Present Linux and Windows instructions with equal prominence, or default to platform-neutral commands where possible.
  • In tabbed code blocks, do not always list Windows first; alternate or use platform detection.
  • Include Linux-specific troubleshooting tips (e.g., Docker permissions, executable flags) alongside Windows tips.
  • Add example outputs and screenshots from Linux terminals/environments to match those shown for Windows.
  • If a PowerShell pivot is present, ensure there is a corresponding Bash or shell script example for Linux/Mac users.
  • Explicitly state that all commands are cross-platform where applicable, and clarify any platform-specific differences.
