And I am happy to answer. It's quite different. =)

I am writing tutorials, my current main project is TorBOX. [1] It's an
addition to Tor. [2]

For new users the instructions seam overwhelming, too comprehensive, to
much to read, difficult, scaring. It's because there are different types
of users: users, developers and a mix of both. Users may become developers
some day but you got to lure them, this means, they have to get a working
current version before they start improving it. The tutorial has to look
easy. The first impression is important.

The users type just want to know "what commands do I have to copy and
paste" while the developer type thinks more like "What does this command?
What's the purpose? Wouldn't it be better to do x instant of y? What if x
happens?" and wants some additional reasoning why what is done.

Spoilers would allow to separate the "this is what you have copy and
paste" and the "this is the big comprehensive reasoning for our doing" -
and still combine both.
