From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

To be able to use chown (Change Owner) you need to have the powers to do so. Your default user does not have such powers when the target is not yet owned by that user. Perhaps you did not use sudo, like
sudo chown 775 xyz
So I guess the documentation of that software installation howto is lacking specifics for Ubuntu (Ubuntu uses sudo, but e.g. Debian does not do so and defaults tosu
).
