Summary
The documentation shows some Windows bias, primarily by referencing Windows tools and patterns, mentioning Windows-specific instructions before Linux equivalents, and focusing on PowerShell as a language. Some sections (e.g., troubleshooting) call out Windows-specific issues, and PowerShell is treated as a first-class language alongside cross-platform options. There are also places where Linux-specific instructions are less detailed or are presented after Windows instructions.
Recommendations
- Ensure all platform-specific instructions are presented in parallel, with equal detail for Windows, Linux, and macOS.
- Where PowerShell is referenced, clarify its cross-platform availability and provide Bash/zsh equivalents where appropriate.
- Avoid phrases like 'When running on Windows...' unless there is a true platform-specific difference; otherwise, clarify for all platforms.
- In troubleshooting and setup sections, include Linux/macOS-specific guidance (e.g., default shell issues, permissions) alongside Windows.
- For custom handler compilation, consider presenting Linux/macOS instructions before Windows, or group them equally.
- Add explicit Linux/macOS examples for any command-line or tool usage, not just Windows (e.g., for setting environment variables).
- Review all links and references to ensure they do not default to Windows-only documentation or installers.

#### [Windows](#tab/windows)
Change the `defaultExecutablePath` in *host.json* from `handler.exe` to `handler`. This change instructs the function app to run the Linux binary.

A binary named `handler` is created in the function app root.
### [Rust](#tab/rust)
1. Create a file at *.cargo/config*. Add the following contents and save the file.
