Run it with sudo. I know the instructions don't say to but sometimes it's the only way I can get it to work.
Actually instead try sudo apt-get install nodejs-legacy

I ran that command and I got this message:

nodejs-legacy is already the newest version.

ok, go the sudo npm install route then.

It gives me this error: "bash: cd: bitshares: No such file or directory"

Have you cloned the source from git yet? If so, remember it is case sensitive and they changed some letters to capitals.

That's because he did cd bitshares when already in bitshares directory

Try it as root (sudo npm install) from in the web_wallet directory.

I *think* that it worked. I received a bunch of green HTTP links and no errors. and I did the " make buildweb" and the "make BitShares" Is there any more steps I need to follow?

For ease of use I'd do this:
go to the programs/qt_wallet/bin
sudo cp Bitshares /usr/local/bin/.
That way it's on the path.
Congrats on getting it built :).

Thanks Riverhead for your help! +5% I finally got it to work. Now I see the user agreement and registration page. So I assume that everything is done now? Where are my private keys stored so I can make a copy of them?

They'll be in the ~/.Bitshares/wallets/default directory.
However the easiest way is to do it from the client File->Export Wallet and save it somewhere easy to find. Another option is just tar.gz your wallets directory.
