Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias in the certificate generation section, where instructions and examples are tailored for Windows users (e.g., opening a command prompt in %USERPROFILE% and using PowerShell commands), with no equivalent Linux or macOS instructions provided. The phrase 'Consider installing manually for Windows' implies a Windows-first approach, and there are no Bash or Linux terminal examples for certificate generation. The rest of the guide is platform-neutral, focusing on Azure Portal and MQTTX app, which are cross-platform.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit instructions and command examples for Linux and macOS users, including how to open a terminal and navigate to the appropriate directory.
  • Provide Bash shell equivalents for all certificate generation commands, including file path conventions and environment variables (e.g., $HOME instead of %USERPROFILE%).
  • Clarify that the step CLI is cross-platform and link to installation guides for Linux and macOS.
  • Avoid using Windows-specific terminology (such as 'Win+R') without providing cross-platform alternatives.
  • Where screenshots or instructions are OS-specific, include alternatives for other platforms.
