Fixing a broken plugin (Docs question)

I want to pick up a existing broken and abadonded plugin and want to repair them. I read the docs on: https://www.jetbrains.org/intellij/sdk/docs/basics/getting_started/setting_up_environment.html
Sadly i'm unsure how to got it.

You write i have to check out the sourcecode of IntelliJ. Thats no problem. Then you write "Create a new IntelliJ Platform SDK under File | Project Structure:"

But for doing anything with "File/Project Structure" i must already have opened the Editor. Should i do the described steps inside a opened (the before checked out) IntelliJ project?

Yes, you can do it when the project is already open or you can access the project structure dialog from the welcome screen.
