Summary
The documentation for Azure Functions Core Tools is generally cross-platform, but several areas show Windows bias. Windows-specific tools and behaviors (such as PowerShell managed dependencies, .NET Framework, and storage emulator references) are mentioned without equivalent Linux/macOS alternatives or with Windows-first phrasing. Some examples and warnings (e.g., Python packaging issues on Windows) highlight Windows as the default environment, and Linux/macOS users may need to infer or research their own approaches. There are references to Windows-only features (like the Microsoft Azure Storage Emulator) without clear Linux/macOS alternatives. PowerShell is called out as a supported worker runtime, but Linux shell scripting is not mentioned. In some sections, Windows behaviors or tools are described before Linux equivalents.
Recommendations
- Where Windows-only tools (e.g., Microsoft Azure Storage Emulator) are mentioned, add explicit Linux/macOS alternatives (such as Azurite) and link to relevant setup guides.
- When discussing managed dependencies for PowerShell, clarify Linux/macOS support or limitations.
- Add more explicit Linux/macOS usage notes, especially for commands that behave differently or require additional steps on non-Windows platforms (e.g., Python packaging, Docker usage).
- Ensure examples and troubleshooting tips are provided for Linux/macOS users, not just Windows.
- Avoid Windows-first phrasing; present cross-platform instructions or clearly indicate platform-specific steps.
- Where PowerShell is referenced, mention Bash/zsh scripting as alternatives for Linux/macOS users.
