Summary
The documentation shows a moderate Windows bias. In the prerequisites, it links only to Windows-specific Python installation documentation, omitting Linux/macOS equivalents. When setting environment variables, Windows command prompt and PowerShell instructions are always listed before Linux/macOS, and the Windows 'setx' command is given special mention (including a note about restarting the prompt), while Linux/macOS instructions are more generic. There are no Linux/macOS-specific troubleshooting notes or links to their Python setup guides.
Recommendations
  • Include links to official Python installation/setup documentation for Linux and macOS in the prerequisites section.
  • Alternate the order of environment variable instructions, or present all OS instructions in parallel tabs or a table to avoid prioritizing Windows.
  • Add Linux/macOS-specific notes where relevant (e.g., about persistent environment variables, shell differences).
  • Ensure that all CLI and setup instructions are equally detailed for Linux/macOS users.
  • Consider using OS-neutral language and examples where possible.
