Daniel,

instead of asking the same question elsewhere¹, you'd better try to 
understand what you made wrong and maybe study the basics of command 
line usage.

We'd be glad to help if you can show us what you did exactly.
Open a terminal, start from step 1 and when you get stuck copy&paste 
all the text in the terminal and send it here.
