Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias, particularly in the installation instructions for the Azure Developer CLI. The only command-line installation example provided uses PowerShell, with no mention of Bash or Linux/macOS alternatives. This may confuse or exclude Linux/macOS users. Additionally, the PowerShell installation command is presented before any cross-platform or alternative instructions, and there is no explicit guidance for non-Windows environments.
Recommendations
  • Provide installation instructions for the Azure Developer CLI for all major platforms (Windows, Linux, macOS), including Bash/cURL examples alongside PowerShell.
  • Present platform-specific instructions in parallel tabs or sections (e.g., Windows, Linux, macOS), rather than only or first showing Windows/PowerShell.
  • Explicitly mention platform compatibility and link to official cross-platform installation guides.
  • Ensure all command-line examples are available in both PowerShell and Bash (or note when a command is platform-specific).
