Summary
The documentation page exhibits a notable Windows bias. The installation and management of the on-premises data gateway are described exclusively in terms of Windows tools and patterns. The installer, screenshots, and service management instructions all assume a Windows environment. PowerShell is referenced as the automation method, with no mention of Linux/macOS equivalents. There are no instructions or examples for installing or running the gateway on Linux or macOS, nor any discussion of cross-platform support or alternatives.
Recommendations
  • Explicitly state platform requirements and limitations at the top of the document.
  • If the gateway is Windows-only, clarify this early and provide rationale or alternatives for Linux/macOS users.
  • If cross-platform support exists, add installation instructions, screenshots, and troubleshooting steps for Linux and macOS.
  • Include automation and management examples using Bash, shell scripts, or other Linux-native tools if supported.
  • Reference Linux/macOS service management patterns (e.g., systemd) if the gateway can run on those platforms.
  • If PowerShell is the only automation option, mention PowerShell Core and its cross-platform capabilities.
