Summary
The documentation consistently uses PowerShell commands for all shell-based instructions (e.g., creating directories, running scripts, installing npm packages), and does not provide equivalent Linux/macOS shell (bash/sh) examples. This may create friction for users on non-Windows platforms, as PowerShell syntax differs from bash/zsh, which are standard on Linux/macOS. The documentation also presents Windows-style commands first and exclusively, with no mention of Linux tools or patterns.
Recommendations
  • Provide bash/sh equivalents for all PowerShell commands (e.g., use 'mkdir mapsDemo && cd mapsDemo' and 'npm init' in bash syntax).
  • Use cross-platform commands or explicitly show both Windows (PowerShell) and Linux/macOS (bash) examples side-by-side.
  • When showing how to run scripts, use 'node search.js' without the PowerShell code block, or clarify that this works on all platforms.
  • Add notes or sections highlighting any platform-specific differences, especially for environment variable handling and file paths.
  • Avoid presenting Windows commands first or exclusively; strive for parity in example ordering.
