No, you shouldn't need any of that.

See the web page

   http://savannah.gnu.org/cvs/?group_id=40

for more details on how to check emacs out of the CVS repository.
Anonymous access is probably fine for this usage.

When you give the `cvs co' command, you should add Eli's
`-r EMACS_21_1_RC' option just after the `co' part of the command line
[on the web page, there's other junk between `cvs' and `co', which you
still need].

Um, a bit.  You at least have to make sure you have CVS installed!
If you can type `cvs --help' and get an answer, then that's probably
enough.
