The instructions look pretty detailed and straight forward. What particularly did you not understand?

I think maybe the OP doesn't know what a terminal is?
You'll find terminal in the Ubuntu menu, that will be where you enter all those commands from the link you posted.

The sudo instead of root reference could also be confusing.

Some distros have a user called root which is the administrsator user with full rights. Others such as Ubuntu don't have this. Instead, they use a command called sudo. Think of sudo as "Simon says..." for Linux in that prefixing a command with sudo will run it with root rights. When running a command with sudo, you will be asked for a password; this is typically the password of the first user created.

You can in effect have a root terminal session by running the command sudo -i

That is a little eye not an ell.
