Summary
The documentation shows a Windows-first bias in the certificate generation section, where instructions specifically mention opening a command prompt in the Windows user profile folder and reference Windows-specific actions (e.g., 'Win+R type %USERPROFILE%'). No equivalent Linux or macOS instructions or examples are provided for certificate generation or file path conventions. The rest of the guide is platform-neutral, especially when using MQTTX, which is cross-platform.
Recommendations
- Provide parallel instructions for Linux and macOS users in the certificate generation section, including terminal commands and typical file paths (e.g., '~/').
- Avoid Windows-specific shortcuts or, if mentioned, also provide equivalents for other operating systems (e.g., explain how to open a terminal in Linux/macOS).
- Clarify that the step CLI and MQTTX are cross-platform, and provide installation links or commands for Linux and macOS.
- Where file paths are referenced, show both Windows and Unix-style examples.
- Consider including a note or table summarizing OS-specific steps for all platforms supported.
