Summary
The documentation exhibits a Windows bias by prioritizing Windows-centric tools (Visual Studio, .exe paths), using Windows file paths (c:\azurite), and providing command-line examples and instructions that assume a Windows environment. Linux and macOS equivalents for file paths, environment variable setting, and directory mounting in Docker are either omitted or only mentioned as secondary notes. There are no explicit Linux/macOS command-line examples for running Azurite, and the Visual Studio integration is only described for Windows.
Recommendations
  • Provide parallel Linux/macOS examples for all command-line instructions, including npm, GitHub, and Docker usage (e.g., use /home/user/azurite or ~/azurite instead of c:\azurite).
  • When showing environment variable commands, always show both Windows (set) and Unix (export) forms side-by-side.
  • Include Visual Studio Code and CLI workflows that are platform-agnostic or explicitly describe differences for Linux/macOS users.
  • For Docker volume mounts, show both Windows (c:/azurite:/data) and Linux (-v ~/azurite:/data) syntax.
  • In sections referencing executable locations (e.g., azurite.exe), clarify that this is Windows-specific and provide guidance for Linux/macOS users (e.g., running azurite from npm global install).
  • Avoid using Windows paths as the only example; always provide Unix-style path alternatives.
  • Add a summary table or section explicitly outlining platform-specific differences and setup steps.
