Difference between MacOS installation instructions and Windows or Linux instructions
Windows
Here are the differences between the original macOS instructions and the modified Windows-specific instructions:
-
Terminal Type and Command Differences:
- macOS: Uses
Terminal
and generalbash
commands. - Windows: Uses Command Prompt or PowerShell instead of
Terminal
. - The command lines for
npx
and directory navigation are modified to explicitly reference PowerShell.
Example
- macOS:
npx create-spec-up-t my-spec-up-t-website
- Windows:
npx create-spec-up-t my-spec-up-t-website
- macOS: Uses
-
Directory Navigation:
- macOS: General command
cd my-spec-up-t-website
is the same, but assumed to run in macOS Terminal. - Windows: Specified as using PowerShell or Command Prompt, with
cd
unchanged.
Example
- macOS and Windows:
cd my-spec-up-t-website
- macOS: General command
-
Command Syntax for Install Dependencies:
- macOS: General usage of
npm
command with no specific shell mentioned. - Windows: Specifies running
npm
commands in PowerShell.
Example
- macOS:
npm run install
- Windows:
npm run install
- macOS: General usage of
-
Environment Testing:
- macOS: Terminal and general
bash
or zsh commands are assumed. - Windows: Adds instructions to verify installation with PowerShell using
node -v
,npm -v
, andgit --version
commands in PowerShell.
- macOS: Terminal and general
Linux
Here are the differences between the original macOS instructions and the modified Linux-specific instructions:
-
Terminal Type and Command Differences:
- macOS: Uses
Terminal
with generalbash
commands. - Linux: Uses
Terminal
withbash
commands, similar to macOS, but provides additional installation steps specific to Linux systems (e.g., usingapt-get
for installing Node.js and Git).
Example
- macOS:
npx create-spec-up-t my-spec-up-t-website
- Linux:
npx create-spec-up-t my-spec-up-t-website
- macOS: Uses
-
Node.js and Git Installation:
- macOS: Assumes Node.js and Git are downloaded and installed via their respective installers.
- Linux: Adds specific commands for installing Node.js and Git through the package manager (
apt-get
for Debian-based systems).
Example
- Linux:
curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_18.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
sudo apt-get install git
-
Environment Testing:
- macOS: Assumes installation verification with general
bash
commands. - Linux: Adds instructions for verifying installation in
bash
usingnode -v
,npm -v
, andgit --version
.
Example
- macOS and Linux:
node -v
npm -v
git --version
- macOS: Assumes installation verification with general
-
Package Installation and Directory Navigation:
- macOS: Uses
Terminal
commands without additional setup. - Linux: Uses
Terminal
commands similarly, with no changes for directory navigation ornpm
commands, as Linux and macOS share similar shell environments.
Example
- macOS and Linux:
cd my-spec-up-t-website
npm run install
- macOS: Uses
