Summary
The documentation provides comprehensive installation instructions for Bicep CLI across Windows, Linux, and macOS. However, there is a notable emphasis on Windows-specific tools and patterns, such as dedicated sections for Chocolatey, Winget, and PowerShell scripts, while Linux and macOS instructions are more generic. Windows installer options are described in detail, and PowerShell is used for manual installation, whereas Linux/macOS rely on shell scripts. In some sections, Windows tools are listed before Linux/macOS equivalents, and PowerShell commands are shown for verification and installation on Windows, but not for Linux/macOS. Overall, Linux and macOS users can complete all tasks, but Windows-centric tooling and examples may create minor friction.
Recommendations
- Add parity for package manager installation on Linux (e.g., apt, yum, zypper) and macOS (e.g., MacPorts) if available.
- Provide shell script examples for verification and installation steps on Linux/macOS, similar to the PowerShell examples for Windows.
- Balance the order of presentation so that Linux/macOS instructions are not always listed after Windows equivalents.
- Include troubleshooting steps and common issues for Linux/macOS environments, not just for Windows.
- Mention alternative editors and environments that are popular on Linux/macOS, if relevant.
