Kevin,
You missed the directions:
"""Now in the ~/ros_tutorials directory please run the following commands: """
you need to cd ~/ros_tutorials before continuing.

this seems to get me closer...it doesn't like that the beginner_tutorials
folder is already in my home path...I am not sure what put it there. should
I just delete it and then run teh command?

kevin@kevin-robot:~$ echo $HOME
/home/kevin
kevin@kevin-robot:~$ echo $PATH
/opt/ros/cturtle/ros/bin:/opt/ros/cturtle/ros/bin:/opt/ros/cturtle/ros/bin:/opt/ros/cturtle/ros/bin:/opt/ros/cturtle/ros/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games
kevin@kevin-robot:~$ cd ~/
