Summary
The documentation demonstrates some Windows bias, particularly in the way it references Windows-specific tools and installation patterns. For example, the Node.js version manager (nvm) is mentioned with a Windows-specific alternative (NVM for Windows) and installation via Winget, a Windows package manager. There is also a reference to Windows Firewall prompts, which is not relevant to Linux or macOS users. No explicit Linux or macOS-specific instructions or troubleshooting are provided, and the only OS-specific tool mentioned is for Windows. While most commands are cross-platform, the lack of parity in OS-specific guidance and the order of tool recommendations indicate a subtle Windows-first bias.
Recommendations
- When mentioning tools like nvm, provide equal visibility to Linux/macOS installation methods (e.g., Homebrew for macOS, apt/yum for Linux) alongside Windows options.
- If referencing Windows Firewall prompts, add notes about equivalent network/security prompts or considerations on Linux and macOS, or clarify that this step is Windows-specific.
- Include troubleshooting tips or environment setup notes for Linux/macOS users, such as permissions, path configuration, or common issues.
- Where possible, avoid mentioning Windows-specific tools (like Winget) without also mentioning cross-platform or Linux/macOS alternatives.
- Consider adding a short section or callout for Linux/macOS users in the prerequisites or setup steps to ensure parity and inclusivity.
