Bias Analysis

Detected Bias Types
windows_first

Summary
The documentation demonstrates a mild Windows bias in the way environment variable instructions are presented. Windows Command Prompt and PowerShell commands are listed before Linux/macOS equivalents, and there is a dedicated prerequisite link for setting up Python on Windows but not for Linux. However, Linux/macOS commands are present and correct, and the code samples themselves are cross-platform.
Recommendations
  • Present environment variable instructions for Linux/macOS before or alongside Windows instructions, or use tabs to separate platforms equally.
  • Add a link or note for setting up Python on Linux/macOS in the prerequisites, not just Windows.
  • Ensure parity in all setup and troubleshooting steps for both Windows and Linux/macOS users.
  • Consider using platform-agnostic language or grouping instructions by OS in a way that does not prioritize Windows.
