Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias in several areas: it provides only Windows/PowerShell-based installer instructions as an alternative to the OVA method, uses Windows-specific tools (e.g., CertUtil in Command Prompt) for security verification, and references Windows file paths and conventions. There are no Linux equivalents or examples for these steps, and Linux tooling or commands are not mentioned. The documentation assumes the user is operating from a Windows environment when interacting with the appliance or verifying files.
Recommendations
- Provide Linux-based instructions and examples alongside Windows ones, such as using sha256sum or openssl for hash verification of the OVA file.
- Include a Linux shell script or manual steps for setting up the appliance on a Linux server, not just a PowerShell script.
- When referencing file paths or commands, offer both Windows and Linux variants.
- Explicitly mention Linux support and provide parity in troubleshooting, validation, and configuration steps.
- Clarify if the PowerShell script is cross-platform (PowerShell Core) or Windows-only, and offer a bash alternative if possible.
