Summary
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows environments. All setup and installation steps rely exclusively on PowerShell and Windows-specific tools (IIS, Windows Activation Service, Registry Editor). There are no instructions or examples for deploying the appliance on Linux or macOS servers, nor any mention of equivalent Linux commands or prerequisites. The documentation assumes the appliance host is a Windows machine and does not provide parity for Linux users.
Recommendations
- Provide Linux-based installation instructions, including shell script equivalents for the installer.
- Clarify whether the appliance can be hosted on Linux, and if so, detail the steps and requirements.
- List Linux prerequisites (e.g., required packages, services) alongside Windows roles.
- Include Linux command-line examples for extracting the installer, running scripts, and troubleshooting.
- If the appliance is Windows-only, explicitly state this limitation at the beginning of the documentation.
