Summary
The documentation page exhibits a Windows bias in several areas: Windows-specific issues (WinUtils.exe) and workarounds are described in detail, with no equivalent Linux/macOS troubleshooting; file path and tool references (Notepad, C:\ paths, hosts file location) are Windows-centric and presented first or exclusively; instructions for editing the hosts file and copying configuration files assume a Windows environment, with only a brief mention of Cygwin for scp, but no native Linux/macOS guidance. There are no Linux/macOS-specific examples for common tasks such as editing the hosts file or handling environment variables.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux/macOS equivalents for all Windows-specific instructions, such as hosts file location and editing (e.g., /etc/hosts, using nano or vi).
  • Include troubleshooting steps for Linux/macOS environments, especially for issues like WinUtils.exe which are Windows-only.
  • When giving file paths or commands, show both Windows and Linux/macOS formats side by side.
  • Avoid assuming the user is on Windows; clarify which steps are OS-specific and offer alternatives.
  • Mention native Linux/macOS tools (e.g., scp, ssh, text editors) before or alongside third-party tools like Cygwin.
