Summary
The documentation for installing and running the Azurite emulator for Azure Storage demonstrates a notable Windows bias. Many command-line and Docker examples use Windows-style paths (e.g., c:\azurite), and instructions for Visual Studio are exclusively for Windows environments. There are no explicit Linux/macOS examples for directory paths, file locations, or command usage, and Windows tools (Visual Studio, Windows file paths) are referenced before cross-platform or Linux alternatives.
Recommendations
- Add Linux/macOS equivalents for all command-line and Docker examples, using POSIX-style paths (e.g., /home/user/azurite or ~/azurite).
- Include instructions for running Azurite on Linux/macOS, such as where to find the azurite executable after npm install, and how to launch it.
- Clarify that Visual Studio instructions are Windows-only, and provide alternative guidance for Linux/macOS users (e.g., using VS Code, npm, or Docker).
- For Docker volume mounts, show both Windows and Linux syntax (e.g., -v /home/user/azurite:/data).
- Where file paths are referenced (e.g., for certificates), show both Windows and Linux/macOS examples.
