Thank Cagatay for your feedback, I'll update the wiki. For the point 4: we do have a super build now that automate all that process and the point of that documentation was to illustrate each pieces independently from each other instead of explaining the setup for a monolithic system. But I agree this can be confusing, that's why I finally wrote the super build that basically build everything for you as well as fetching the third party.
