Summary
The documentation page shows a Windows bias in several areas. In the prerequisites, only Windows-specific Python setup documentation is linked, with no mention of Linux or macOS equivalents. When describing how to activate the Python virtual environment, only the Windows command is provided ('.\venv\Scripts\Activate'), omitting the Linux/macOS alternative ('source venv/bin/activate'). In the section on setting environment variables, Windows methods (cmd and PowerShell) are listed before the Linux/macOS method, but all are present. Overall, Linux/macOS users may experience minor friction due to missing or less prominent examples.
Recommendations
- In the prerequisites, add links or instructions for setting up Python on Linux and macOS.
- When showing how to activate the virtual environment, provide both Windows ('.\venv\Scripts\Activate') and Linux/macOS ('source venv/bin/activate') commands.
- Consider presenting environment variable instructions for all platforms together, or listing Linux/macOS first in cross-platform documentation.
- Review other steps for implicit Windows assumptions and clarify where behavior differs on Linux/macOS.
