Gesh,
I assume you refer to this wiki page:
https://confluence.sakaiproject.org/display/BOOT/Development+Environment+Setup+Walkthrough

That has been used by literally hundreds of developers around the work
to setup Sakai successfully. It is not incorrect as you say and has
been proven over and over to work. There could be some details which
could be better but if you follow these steps precisely it will work.
If you are stuck on a specific step then please ask for help but I
don't think anyone is going to spend the time to rewrite the steps in
email.
Once you have things setup on your laptop following this guide it
should be fairly easy to get it working on any system but you should
start by getting it working locally first. Then you will be able to
determine which steps are required.

Of the 2 places where JAVA_OPTS are given, the first mentions you
should refer to the second section for the values. Please do that.

That is the case. Certainly for every installation I am familiar with anyway.

Good luck
