I don't know how pedantic you want to get in these messages, but:
1. "setup" is a noun
2. "set up" is a verb
3. "set-up" is a compound adjective
So, for
print "on the computer (i.e. a non-root user). The set up procedure"
If you're describing the procedure, this would appear as "The set-up
procedure" in our documentation, same as you did for "server-specific
operations". The other variants are correct.
