Summary
The documentation exhibits a moderate Windows bias. Windows is consistently listed first in prerequisites and activation instructions, and Windows-specific tools (such as Microsoft C++ Build Tools and WSL) are mentioned. Some commands and installation steps are tailored for Windows or WSL, with less detail or clarity for native Linux/macOS users. Powershell/Windows command syntax is shown before or instead of Linux equivalents in some places. There are also references to using 'apt-get' on Mac via Homebrew or manual installation, which may confuse non-Windows users.
Recommendations
  • Present Linux/macOS instructions before or alongside Windows instructions, not after.
  • Provide explicit, native Linux and macOS installation and activation commands, not just for WSL.
  • Avoid suggesting Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) as the primary Linux experience; treat native Linux equally.
  • List Linux/macOS prerequisites and tools with the same level of detail as Windows (e.g., mention build-essential for Linux).
  • Where commands differ, show both Windows and Linux/macOS versions side by side.
  • Clarify package manager instructions for macOS (e.g., use 'brew' for Homebrew, not 'apt-get').
  • Add troubleshooting notes specific to Linux/macOS environments.
