Summary
The documentation page exhibits a moderate Windows bias. Windows is frequently referenced as the default or primary development environment, especially in the C# and Java sections. Command prompts and tooling instructions are often Windows-centric, with explicit instructions to use Windows command prompt or Git Bash. Linux equivalents are not always provided, and the language often assumes a Windows-based workflow. While some sections mention that the steps work on both Windows and Linux, actual Linux/macOS-specific commands, examples, or troubleshooting tips are missing or relegated to secondary status.
Recommendations
  • Provide explicit Linux/macOS instructions and examples alongside Windows ones, especially for command-line steps (e.g., use 'bash' or 'sh' where appropriate).
  • Avoid language such as 'Open a Windows command prompt'; instead, use 'Open a terminal' and specify commands for both platforms.
  • Include Linux/macOS screenshots or clarify UI differences where relevant.
  • Mention cross-platform tools first (e.g., .NET Core, Node.js, Java) and clarify their compatibility.
  • For certificate manipulation, provide OpenSSL commands and instructions for Linux/macOS, not just references to Windows tools or Git Bash.
  • Ensure all referenced scripts and SDKs are described as cross-platform and provide installation instructions for Linux/macOS.
