So how would you put a Jedi order together?

How to new Jedi Order (according to Jinn):
Step 1) Don't read the books, if they're not available digitally they probably weren't worth the memory they're not saved on.*
Step 2) Try to build a Cerebro-like machine for the force.
Step 3) Fail at that and hire a graphics designer to make fancy adds for your New Order.
Step 4) Throw all your mones out for billboards on Coruscant.
Step 5) Bankrupt.
Step 6) Hopelessly you walk down the street and see a little child that sneakily uses the force to play practical jokes on their peers.
Step 7) Talk to the parents about it, convince them to give you the kid, for its own safety. Remember your mind control powers
Step 8) Now that you have your first apprentice you have gained new hope and are moralized enough to continue to build your Order.
Step 9) Build your Order.
Step 10) Contemplate killing one of your students who might fall to the Dark Side.
Step 10a) Don't do that while in the same room as your student.
Step 11) Better don't kill them, but tell them that you think that they will turn bad, so that they are conscious about it and maybe can act against it.

What mentor ? Don't the films and new canon say everyone is dead ?
Of course. Sorry, I wasn't sure that you refer directly to the universe as it is at the moment, I read the question more as a hypothetic one.
Well, in this case she can only hope for Luke and/or Yoda as force ghosts to guide her.
Oh I never thought about Rey - I was thinking about Luke.
Reddit post.
Since this is Star Wars... wouldn't that be HoloReddit or Hoddit or something like that?
It's the largest gathering of beings on the HoloNet.
Not sure - although if you were recruiting people for your mystical cult - it's likely an advantage that they have a low level of literacy.
As an aside, what makes me laugh about the new films is that I have a lot of education and qualifications including a PhD and I sound like a country bumpkin and Rey grew up on effectively a trash-heap and has a lovely clear speaking voice and wonderful diction.
Maybe that's the real reason why Obi-Wan hid Luke on Tatooine and not somewhere civilised like Leia.
Luke knew how to work computers and fix droids and pilot. I don't think you can pull that off without an education.
If I were building a Jedi order, I would look to build people like Mace, who apparently knew techniques of the light and dark sides.
The Force is a tool, not unlike a lightsaber or any weapon. If you put a lightsaber in the hands of an evil person, they will use it for evil things. If you put the same lightsaber in the hands of a good person, they will use it for good things.
I believe the same for traditionally dark side uses, like force lightning. While a Jedi should never use his gifts for evil, the idea of not even learning things is ridiculous. If Obi Wan had Force Lightning in his arsenal, he probably finishes Grievous faster.
If the four Jedi surround the Emperor and hit him with Force Lightning, maybe the fight ends there.
Plus, if you know what the dark side has, you can be better equipped to defend against it if the time comes.

That is a what not a how - you are a twenty something farmboy with limited education, a few dusty books and limited resources.
It's like doing a first aid course and then being asked to build a hospital and train all the staff...
R2's beeps show up as text in his X-Wing during Empire, he read that and was able to understand him.
I'd get the books, y'know, and some huts.
Then I hang around at night and if I feel the dark side in one of the student's dreams or something- Boom. I go busting in with the lightsaber.
That's the plan.
