Summary
The documentation generally describes errors and solutions in a cross-platform manner, referencing CLI tools (Docker, Helm, Notary) that are available on Windows, Linux, and macOS. However, some sections show Windows bias: Windows paths and .exe files are mentioned first or exclusively (e.g., Notary client installation), environment variable instructions use Windows terminology ('system variables'), and Linux/macOS installation paths/examples are less detailed or omitted. There are no explicit Linux/macOS command examples or troubleshooting steps, which may create friction for non-Windows users.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux/macOS-specific installation instructions and paths alongside Windows examples (e.g., where to place Notary binaries, how to update PATH).
  • Use cross-platform terminology for environment variables (e.g., 'system environment variables' vs. 'PATH variable'), and give examples for both Windows (setx, GUI) and Linux/macOS (export, ~/.bashrc, ~/.zshrc).
  • When referencing executables, clarify platform differences (e.g., notary.exe for Windows, notary for Linux/macOS).
  • Add troubleshooting steps and example commands for Linux/macOS users where relevant.
