I don't even know where to begin... [Installing Node]

Question

I saw this video here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EO38PzVjvro

And I wanted to follow it to create my own HourBoost bot. So I purchased a £3 Ubuntu VPS from OVH and tried to follow his video directly and it doesn't work. I am beyond confused as he is using the full OS and mine is just the terminal. I am extremely new to this so I don't even know where I have gone wrong.

So far I'm here

Could anyone take the time to help me?

I don't think its that complicated considering the video is only 5 minutes.

Could you please post text files, dialogue messages, and program output listings as text, not as images? To achieve the latter two you can either 1) select, copy & paste the dialogue text or terminal content or 2) save the program output to a file and use that. Longer listings (>100 lines) should be uploaded to a pastie service and linked to in the question. Thanks. — David Foerster, Nov 18 '16 at 15:27
Could you please add a little more detail? What exactly did you do, what did you want to achieve and what happened instead? Did you encounter any warning or error messages? Please reproduce them in their entirety in your question. How is your question related to steam? (see How do I ask a good question?) — David Foerster, Nov 18 '16 at 15:27

Installing node is well documented on the NodeJS site.

Basic installation for version 7.x (that you're attempting):

curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_7.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs

If you need to compile your own addons, you will also need to run:

sudo apt-get install -y build-essential

I hope that helps!

It says it can't find the package to install even after running the first part. And now I think I have fucked up my whole VPS. And since its a new VPS I can't reset it. I have no clue on how to install any of this and I feel like ive wasted £3 – SDKASDASKDASLDKASDLKAS Nov 17 '16 at 02:37
Can you please post a copy of the errors you're getting? – AnotherKiwiGuy Nov 17 '16 at 02:39
If I add you on skype could I give you the login details of the VPS and could you help me? – SDKASDASKDASLDKASDLKAS Nov 17 '16 at 02:40

It finally worked for some reason. – SDKASDASKDASLDKASDLKAS Nov 17 '16 at 02:40
That's good news. Have there been any further errors related to the installation of NodeJS? – AnotherKiwiGuy Nov 17 '16 at 03:12

OK. If you found my answer helpful, don't forget to mark it. If you have further issues that aren't related to NodeJS, you can easily start a new question. Remember to include any errors or screenshots that might help troubleshoot the issue :) – AnotherKiwiGuy Nov 17 '16 at 03:29
