Summary
The documentation shows a Windows bias in the certificate generation section, where only Windows-specific instructions and PowerShell commands are provided. The instructions explicitly mention opening a Command Prompt and using Windows environment variables, without offering equivalent Linux/macOS shell commands or guidance. The sample application is in C#/.NET, which is cross-platform but the development workflow described (Visual Studio, NuGet) is Windows-centric. There is no explicit mention or example for Linux/macOS users for certificate generation or development environment setup.
Recommendations
  • Add Linux/macOS shell commands for certificate generation using step CLI (e.g., bash commands for creating certificates and viewing thumbprints).
  • Include instructions for running the sample code on Linux/macOS (e.g., using VS Code, .NET CLI, or Mono).
  • Present cross-platform instructions first, or side-by-side, rather than Windows-specific steps.
  • Avoid referencing Windows environment variables (like %USERPROFILE%) without Linux/macOS equivalents (like $HOME).
  • Clarify that the sample code can be run on Linux/macOS and provide any necessary setup steps.
