Summary
The documentation shows a mild Windows bias in the 'Install web server' section, where users are instructed to open a PowerShell prompt on Windows and a Bash prompt on Mac/Linux, but all SSH command examples use Windows-style paths (e.g., '.\Downloads\myKey.pem') and do not provide a Linux/macOS equivalent. There are no explicit Linux/macOS command examples for SSH, and the documentation assumes familiarity with Windows conventions. Additionally, the order of instructions often lists Windows before Linux/macOS.
Recommendations
  • Provide both Windows (PowerShell/CMD) and Linux/macOS (Bash) command examples for SSH, with correct path syntax for each platform.
  • When instructing users to open a terminal, list Linux/macOS first or present both options equally.
  • Include notes or callouts clarifying path differences (e.g., '.\Downloads\myKey.pem' for Windows, '~/Downloads/myKey.pem' for Linux/macOS).
  • Wherever possible, avoid assuming a Windows environment; use cross-platform language and examples.
  • Consider adding screenshots or terminal output examples for both Windows and Linux/macOS environments.
