Different Operating Systems
Difference between MacOS 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
Terminaland generalbashcommands. - Windows: Uses Command Prompt or PowerShell instead of
Terminal. - The command lines for
npxand 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-websiteis the same, but assumed to run in macOS Terminal. - Windows: Specified as using PowerShell or Command Prompt, with
cdunchanged.
Example
- macOS and Windows:
cd my-spec-up-t-website
- macOS: General command
-
Command Syntax for Install Dependencies:
- macOS: General usage of
npmcommand with no specific shell mentioned. - Windows: Specifies running
npmcommands in PowerShell.
Example
- macOS:
npm run install - Windows:
npm run install
- macOS: General usage of
-
Environment Testing:
- macOS: Terminal and general
bashor zsh commands are assumed. - Windows: Adds instructions to verify installation with PowerShell using
node -v,npm -v, andgit --versioncommands 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
Terminalwith generalbashcommands. - Linux: Uses
Terminalwithbashcommands, similar to macOS, but provides additional installation steps specific to Linux systems (e.g., usingapt-getfor 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-getfor 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
bashcommands. - Linux: Adds instructions for verifying installation in
bashusingnode -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
Terminalcommands without additional setup. - Linux: Uses
Terminalcommands similarly, with no changes for directory navigation ornpmcommands, as Linux and macOS share similar shell environments.
Example
- macOS and Linux:
cd my-spec-up-t-website
npm run install
- macOS: Uses
