Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a notable Windows bias, especially in setup and environment variable instructions. All shell commands (creating directories, files, installing packages, setting environment variables) are shown exclusively using PowerShell syntax, with no Bash or Linux/macOS equivalents. This can create confusion or friction for users on non-Windows platforms, as the commands are not directly portable. The bias is most evident in the initial project setup and authentication steps, where Linux users must mentally translate PowerShell commands to Bash.
Recommendations
  • Provide Bash/Linux/macOS equivalents for all PowerShell commands, especially for creating directories/files and setting environment variables.
  • Present cross-platform shell examples side-by-side or note the differences explicitly.
  • Avoid using only PowerShell syntax for pip installation; use generic 'pip install' commands or clarify platform-specific nuances.
  • Add a note early in the documentation clarifying that examples are shown in PowerShell and provide links or inline examples for Bash/zsh.
  • Ensure screenshots and instructions for obtaining credentials are platform-neutral.
