I have followed the tutorial steps, which by the way it is very annoying no one mentions the need to type sudo before everything, and when I get to the steps requiring the download of the SHA256 files, I can only download the .gpg file, the other just opens up. but it doesnt matter because when i run the next step and use the line

gpg --keyid-format long --verify SHA256SUMS.gpg SHA256SUMS

it comes back saying

~$ sudo gpg --keyid-format long --verify SHA256SUMS.gpg SHA256SUMS
gpg: can't open 'SHA256SUMS.gpg': No such file or directory
gpg: verify signatures failed: No such file or directory

Help please, my attempts to install ubuntu have only been a disaster so far and i cannot understand why it is being so difficult.

Is this the tutorial you're following? The error you included suggests SHA256SUMS.gpg isn't there. Do you have both files, SHA256SUMS.gpg and SHA256SUMS, in your current directory? I would make sure both files are there and look like this:

$ ls -l SHA*
-rw-rw-r-- 1 userid userid 204 Feb 11 14:07 SHA256SUMS
-rw-rw-r-- 1 userid userid 833 Feb 11 14:07 SHA256SUMS.gpg
