You probably should send your Plone related questions to
the "plone-users" mailing list...

I would expect that all those requirements are in your "Plone-2.1"
tarball -- maybe with the exception of "Zope 2.7.8/2.8.5).

Reread the instructions again; somewhere you will see
the "~zope/instance1" to be mentioned for the first time.
This is a so called Zope "INSTANCE_HOME". It has
a subdirectory "Products". The prescription tells you to
copy the products extracted from the Plone tarball into
this "Products" subdirectory.
