Summary
The documentation provides environment variable setup instructions for Windows, Linux, and macOS, but lists Windows instructions first and offers more detail for Windows (including both 'setx' and 'set', and a Visual Studio restart note). Linux and macOS instructions are present and correct, but are listed after Windows and are slightly less detailed regarding editor restart requirements.
Recommendations
  • Present environment setup instructions in a neutral order (e.g., alphabetical: Linux, macOS, Windows) or group them together to avoid implying priority.
  • Ensure parity in detail for all platforms (e.g., mention restarting editors for Linux/macOS as well, not just Windows/Visual Studio).
  • If providing editor-specific notes (like Visual Studio), consider including equivalents for common Linux/macOS editors (e.g., VS Code, PyCharm).
  • Consider a single cross-platform table or section for environment variable setup, with platform-specific commands clearly labeled but not prioritized.

  To set the value, use the option for your environment.

  #### [Windows](#tab/windows)

  
  > [!NOTE]
  > If you only need to access the environment variable in the current running console, you can set the environment variable with `set` instead of `setx`.

  After you add the environment variables, you may need to restart any running programs that will need to read the environment variable, including the console window. For example, if you're using Visual Studio as your editor, restart Visual Studio before running the example.

  #### [Linux](#tab/linux)
