Summary:
The documentation exhibits a strong Windows bias: all instructions, requirements, and examples assume the use of Windows Server or Windows PC. There is no mention of Linux support, nor are any Linux equivalents or alternatives provided for running the Deployment Planner tool, installing prerequisites, or generating reports. The tool itself appears to be Windows-only, and all references to system requirements, file paths, and dependencies are Windows-specific.
Recommendations:
- Explicitly state in the prerequisites and download sections whether Linux is supported or not. If not, clarify this limitation early in the documentation.
- If feasible, provide a Linux-compatible version of the Deployment Planner tool, or offer guidance for running the tool on Linux (e.g., via Wine or a container).
- Include Linux-based examples for downloading, extracting, and running the tool, or clearly state that such workflows are not supported.
- List Linux system requirements and dependencies if/when a Linux version becomes available.
- Where possible, use cross-platform language (e.g., 'machine' instead of 'Windows server') and provide parity in instructions for both Windows and Linux environments.
