windows_tools
Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by providing only PowerShell-based examples for artifact installation commands, referencing Windows-specific tools (such as Chocolatey), and using a sample artifact that is explicitly for Windows. There are no equivalent Linux shell script examples, nor is there a Linux-focused artifact sample or command. The guidance and screenshots are centered around Windows patterns, with Linux support mentioned only as an option in parameter values.
Recommendations:
- Add parallel Linux examples throughout the documentation, such as showing a bash shell script artifact and corresponding 'commandToExecute' using 'bash' or 'sh'.
- Include a sample artifactfile.json and script for a Linux VM (e.g., installing a package with apt or yum).
- When referencing repositories or samples, provide both Windows and Linux artifact examples, or at least mention where Linux examples can be found.
- Balance the order of presentation so that Linux and Windows are treated equally (e.g., do not always show Windows first).
- Mention Linux-specific tools or patterns (such as apt, yum, bash scripting) alongside Windows tools like PowerShell and Chocolatey.
- Ensure screenshots and folder structures are not Windows-centric, or provide Linux equivalents.
