Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by presenting Windows-specific paths and patterns first (e.g., 'mkdir c:\azurite', 'azurite --location c:\azurite'), and does not provide equivalent Linux/macOS examples for directory creation or Azurite launch commands. The use of backslashes in paths and lack of explicit Linux instructions may confuse non-Windows users. Azure Storage Explorer, a GUI tool, is also emphasized without mention of CLI alternatives that may be preferred on Linux.
Recommendations
  • Provide both Windows and Linux/macOS command examples side by side, especially for file paths and directory creation (e.g., 'mkdir ~/azurite' and '--location ~/azurite').
  • Use platform-agnostic variables or explain path differences (e.g., use $HOME/azurite for Linux/macOS).
  • Mention CLI alternatives to Azure Storage Explorer, such as Azure CLI or azcopy, for users who may not want to use a GUI tool.
  • Explicitly state which commands are platform-specific and provide guidance for users on other operating systems.
  • In the npm/Docker installation steps, clarify any OS-specific prerequisites or differences.
