Summary
The documentation demonstrates a notable Windows bias. Windows is referenced first and most frequently in prerequisites, sample instructions, and tooling. Many steps explicitly mention using a Windows command prompt, and some certificate generation instructions link only to Windows-specific tabs or tools. While the article claims Linux is supported and some commands are cross-platform, there are missing or unclear instructions for Linux/macOS users, especially for Java and C# samples. Windows tools (like Git Bash) are recommended without Linux alternatives, and screenshots are Windows-centric.
Recommendations
  • Explicitly provide Linux/macOS instructions and examples alongside Windows, especially for command-line steps and sample execution.
  • Avoid language like 'Windows-based machine' in prerequisites; instead, specify cross-platform requirements.
  • For certificate generation, link to both Windows and Linux tabs or provide equivalent Linux/macOS commands (e.g., OpenSSL usage).
  • Include screenshots from Linux/macOS environments or clarify that UI is identical.
  • When recommending tools like Git Bash, also mention Linux/macOS equivalents (e.g., native bash, zsh).
  • For Java and C# samples, clarify how to run commands on Linux/macOS (e.g., using Terminal, Mono, or .NET Core on Linux).
  • Add notes or pivots for Linux/macOS users where file paths, shell commands, or environment variables differ.
