Summary
The documentation displays a mild Windows bias in the certificate generation section. The instructions for installing the Step CLI specifically mention manual installation for Windows and direct users to open a command prompt in their user profile folder using Windows-specific instructions (Win+R, %USERPROFILE%). All command examples are shown in PowerShell syntax, with no mention of Linux/macOS equivalents (e.g., bash, terminal navigation). However, the rest of the guide (Azure portal usage, MQTTX app) is cross-platform and does not favor Windows.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit instructions for Linux/macOS users on installing Step CLI, including links to package managers (apt, brew, etc.).
  • Provide command examples using bash/zsh syntax for Linux/macOS, especially for navigation and file paths.
  • Avoid Windows-specific navigation instructions (e.g., Win+R, %USERPROFILE%) or supplement them with Linux/macOS equivalents (e.g., cd ~).
  • Clarify that the Step CLI commands are cross-platform and can be run in any terminal.
  • Consider showing both Windows and Linux/macOS command blocks side-by-side for certificate generation steps.
