Summary
The documentation shows a moderate Windows bias in the certificate generation section. The instructions for installing and using the Step CLI are written with Windows users in mind, including references to opening a command prompt in the user profile folder and using Powershell syntax for commands. There is no explicit mention of Linux/macOS equivalents, nor are there examples or instructions for those platforms. However, the rest of the guide (Azure portal usage, MQTTX app) is cross-platform and does not favor Windows.
Recommendations
- Add explicit instructions for installing Step CLI on Linux and macOS, including links to platform-specific installation guides.
- Provide command examples using bash/zsh syntax for Linux/macOS users, and clarify any differences in file paths or environment variables.
- Replace or supplement references to '%USERPROFILE%' and 'Win+R' with cross-platform alternatives (e.g., '~' for home directory on Unix-like systems).
- Note that the Step CLI commands are identical across platforms, but clarify any OS-specific steps for certificate file access and permissions.
