    It should work on any platform for which these packages are available through apt (i. e. on any recent version of Ubuntu or Debian or Mint). It worked on Ubuntu 16.04 for me. The only thing different from these instructions is that the package libglew1.5-dev doesn't exist. But if you just install libglew-dev, it will still work.

    Can I install the libraries with a single command: "sudo apt-get install build-essential freeglut3 freeglut3-dev binutils-gold g++ cmake libglew-dev mesa-common-dev libglew1.5-dev libglm-dev"?

    Yes, you can. It's a long command and quite hard to read, but it will install all the necessary libraries.

    I tried to follow all the steps here, but problems start at Part two, when I attempt to save the file and exit. How do I do that?

    Press Ctrl+S, then Ctrl+X to save, then exit in nano.
