Summary
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows environments. All setup and deployment instructions exclusively use PowerShell and reference Windows-specific tools and patterns (e.g., Registry Editor, IIS, Windows Activation Service, HKLM registry keys, %ProgramData% paths). There are no instructions or examples for deploying or configuring the appliance on Linux or macOS systems, nor are alternative shell or tool options provided. Windows terminology and steps are presented first and exclusively, leaving Linux users without guidance for critical setup steps.
Recommendations
- Provide equivalent Linux setup instructions, including shell script examples (e.g., Bash) and Linux-specific prerequisites.
- Clarify whether the appliance can be deployed on Linux or macOS, and if not, state this explicitly.
- If Linux deployment is supported, include instructions for installing required dependencies (e.g., web server, agents) on Linux.
- Offer troubleshooting and log file locations for Linux systems.
- Present Windows and Linux instructions side-by-side or clearly indicate platform-specific steps.
