Summary
The documentation shows mild Windows bias by listing Windows-specific instructions and links before Linux/macOS equivalents. The Azure CLI installation link points only to the Windows installation page, and the environment variable section lists Windows instructions first, with Linux and macOS following. There is no direct Linux-specific Azure CLI installation link, and the Linux environment variable instructions assume the use of .bash_profile, which is not universal.
Recommendations
- Provide platform-agnostic or parallel links for Azure CLI installation (e.g., include links for Windows, Linux, and macOS).
- Present environment variable instructions in a more balanced order, such as using tabs or listing Linux/macOS first in some cases.
- Clarify that .bash_profile may not exist on all Linux distributions and suggest alternatives (e.g., .bashrc, .profile).
- Ensure all examples and instructions are equally detailed for all platforms.
- Consider using a platform selection tab for all setup steps, not just for environment variables.

Flagged Code Snippets
Make these replacements in the code: - Replace `<purchasedPhoneNumber>` with a phone number that's associated with your Communication Services resource. - Replace `<yourConnectionString>` with your connection string. > [!NOTE] > The Azure CLI option provides functionality only for listing and showing phone numbers. It does not support other operations such as searching, purchasing, editing or releasing phone numbers. ### (Optional) Use Azure CLI phone numbers operations without passing in a connection string You can configure the `AZURE_COMMUNICATION_CONNECTION_STRING` environment variable to use Azure CLI phone numbers operations without having to use `--connection_string` to pass in the connection string. To configure an environment variable, open a console window and select your operating system from the below tabs. Replace `<yourConnectionString>` with your actual connection string. #### [Windows](#tab/windows) Open a console window and enter the following command:
