Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows-first bias in several ways. Installation instructions for the MMA and Dependency agents provide more detailed, step-by-step guidance for Windows (including GUI and command-line/scripted options), while Linux instructions are brief and lack equivalent detail. Windows tools and installation patterns (such as double-clicking installers, Configuration Manager, and Intigua) are mentioned, but Linux alternatives (like package managers or automation tools) are not. There are no Linux-specific troubleshooting tips or automation examples, and the order of presentation consistently puts Windows before Linux.
Recommendations:
- Provide equally detailed, step-by-step instructions for Linux agent installation, including common automation methods (e.g., using shell scripts, Ansible, or package managers).
- Include Linux-specific troubleshooting tips and links to relevant documentation, similar to the Windows references.
- When listing platforms, alternate the order or present Windows and Linux instructions in parallel to avoid the perception of Windows being primary.
- Mention Linux-native tools or patterns (such as systemd service management, log file locations, or SELinux/AppArmor considerations) where relevant.
- Offer example scripts for bulk installation on Linux, analogous to the provided Windows script link.
- Ensure that all features, options, and caveats are covered for both Windows and Linux environments.
