Comment (by jorbin):

 I am envisioning two things: First is a new script in tools/local-env that
 checks for prerequises and reports failures in a friendly manner.

 The second is a change to package.json so that a new `npm run getstarted`
 command which will run the preflight check from step one and the other
 which does the steps from https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-
 develop/blob/f40b60d4b2f00e6342753df4a1dc247fc99e286c/README.md#to-start-
 the-development-environment-for-the-first-time

 It could also potentially call another new script which would print out
 some friendly info such as the username:password and links to make/core
