Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by prioritizing Windows-specific tools (Visual Studio, .exe paths), using Windows-style paths (c:\azurite) in all CLI examples, and omitting explicit Linux/macOS command examples for running Azurite or specifying data directories. Installation and usage instructions for Visual Studio are Windows-centric, and there are no Linux/macOS-specific instructions or screenshots. While the introduction claims cross-platform support, practical guidance is overwhelmingly Windows-focused.
Recommendations
  • For every CLI example using Windows paths (e.g., c:\azurite), provide equivalent Linux/macOS examples (e.g., /home/user/azurite or ~/azurite).
  • Explicitly document the location of the Azurite executable for Visual Studio Code and npm/Docker installs on Linux/macOS.
  • Add Linux/macOS-specific instructions and screenshots where appropriate, especially for file paths, environment variables (e.g., export vs set), and Docker volume mounts (e.g., -v ~/azurite:/data).
  • Where Visual Studio is referenced, clarify that it is Windows-only and provide alternative workflows for Linux/macOS users (e.g., using VS Code, npm, or Docker).
  • Ensure that all environment variable examples include both Windows (set) and Linux/macOS (export) syntax.
  • Add a section or tab for 'Linux/macOS' in all relevant install/run instructions to ensure parity.
