Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on PowerShell as the only supported method for running the ARM template test toolkit, regardless of platform. Windows is presented first in installation instructions, and all examples (including Linux and macOS) require PowerShell rather than native shell commands or tools. There is no mention of Linux-native alternatives, and the toolkit itself is described as a set of PowerShell scripts, which may not be ideal for Linux users who prefer bash or other shell environments.
Recommendations
- Provide bash or shell script examples for Linux users, or clarify if PowerShell is the only supported method.
- Consider developing or documenting a cross-platform CLI wrapper or tool that does not require PowerShell.
- List Linux installation instructions before Windows, or present all platforms together to avoid Windows-first ordering.
- Explicitly state the lack of Linux-native alternatives if PowerShell is required, and suggest how Linux users can best integrate PowerShell into their workflows.
- Document any limitations or differences in PowerShell usage on Linux/macOS compared to Windows, including file path conventions and permissions.
