I don't think I'd characterize some of those things as lying. Setting up a development environment is no different than setting up other kinds of software: you obtain the software, and follow instructions to get it up and running. There's no substitute for this, unless you're setting up an environment for someone else (eg, a student), in which case, they don't need to know about many of the details.
