Summary
The documentation provides installation instructions for Bicep tools across Windows, Linux, and macOS, but Windows-specific tools and patterns (such as Chocolatey, Winget, and PowerShell scripts) are given more prominence and detail. The Windows section lists three separate installer options (Windows Installer, Chocolatey, Winget) before presenting a manual PowerShell method, while Linux and macOS primarily focus on direct binary downloads and Homebrew. PowerShell is used heavily for Windows manual installation, and Windows installer options are described in more detail than Linux equivalents. In some sections, Windows instructions or tools are listed before Linux/macOS, and Windows-centric terminology (e.g., %UserProfile%) is used without equivalent Linux/macOS context.
Recommendations
- Provide parity for Linux/macOS package managers (e.g., apt, yum, zypper for Linux; MacPorts for macOS) if available, or explicitly state their absence.
- Balance the detail level across platforms: expand Linux/macOS instructions to match the depth of Windows installer options, including troubleshooting and verification steps.
- List installation methods in a consistent order (e.g., alphabetical by OS or grouped by method) to avoid implicit prioritization of Windows.
- Where PowerShell is used for Windows, consider providing equivalent shell scripts for Linux/macOS for manual installation steps.
- Clarify platform-specific environment variable usage (e.g., %UserProfile% for Windows, $HOME for Linux/macOS) in all relevant sections.
- Add troubleshooting notes and screenshots for Linux/macOS installation similar to those provided for Windows.
