The position of "first" in the sentence
Is the position of "first" as an adverb OK here?
Always install X first before installing Y and Z.
Thank you.
Always install X first before installing Y and Z.
Thank you.

Yes. You could argue that "first" doesn't actually add any extra meaning beyond what "before" already says. However, I think it doesn't hurt and helps reinforce the idea.
