Just as a quick note, np++ isn't a requirement. You should also be teaching people how to use the import directories instead of editing files directly within conf/ as this causes the most issues when updating.
Using wamp for a local server is also overkill with automatic installation of apache and php, as you only need MySQL you'll be better off installing MySQL Community Server and the Workbench tool.
We don't use svn, so TortoiseSVN is the wrong tool.
I'll remove this post once you've fixed your guide.
