Summary
The documentation provides environment variable setup instructions for Windows (cmd and PowerShell) before mentioning Linux/macOS (export), and uses Windows-specific commands (setx, PowerShell syntax) with only a brief Linux/macOS example. The Windows instructions are more detailed (mentioning restart of command prompt), while the Linux/macOS instructions are minimal and lack equivalent detail. There are no screenshots or step-by-step UI instructions that are OS-specific, but the CLI and environment variable setup sections show a clear Windows-first bias.
Recommendations
  • Present Linux/macOS and Windows environment variable instructions side-by-side or in tabs, giving equal prominence and detail.
  • For each command, provide both Windows (cmd, PowerShell) and Linux/macOS (bash/zsh) equivalents, with notes about session persistence (e.g., setx vs export).
  • Clarify that 'export' only sets variables for the current shell session, and suggest adding to ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc for persistence, mirroring the Windows 'setx' behavior.
  • Add Linux/macOS-specific screenshots or notes where relevant, or explicitly state when steps are identical across platforms.
  • Consider using cross-platform tools (like Azure CLI) for all automation steps, and avoid assuming a Windows shell as default.
