It is never too early i think you should just limited the things that you throw at them ;)

In case of my apprentice the project README has everything needed to install it and run the test suite described. So no googling should be necessary. As this is the first time i have tried this approach i took approximately 1 hour to get it up and running on his machine.

I explained the things i was doing and limited the information i was providing so that it was (at least in my opinion) manageable to comprehend. I will definitely keep you posted on how that experiment went.

Edit: No he is not comfortable with the cli yet... but i promised him the terminal will soon be his go to weapon for a lot of stuff ;)
