Thank you to everyone in advance for your time.

I recently came into possession of an alienware steam machine (link to specs: http://www.dell.com/us/p/alienware-steam-machine/pd?oc=dkcwa02s&model_id=alienware-steam-machine) and have been trying to get the dolphin emulator to work on the Debian OS. The problem is that this is the first time I have ever used Linux and I am beyond hopelessly lost. I looked online for tutorials but all I could find were ones that were 3 years old and don't seem to work with the current version. After my four hours of frustration I have managed to set the initial UNIX password in the terminal and fail with a multitude of command prompts I have no way of understanding. This video seemed to get me the farthest: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vuB8YFD4tr4 which used this command prompt:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:glennric/dolphin-emu
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install dolphin-emu

Which after a multitude of lines ended with a failure message like this:
Unable to locate package dolphin-emu

I hope someone can help give me some direction. Today was the first day I opened the desktop portion of the steam machine and I have nothing installed. I could really use someone to take me through the ropes as if I know nothing about Linux which I dont.

git clone https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin.git
cd dolphin
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
sudo make install
dolphin-emu

And whenever somethink like xxx not found, try "sudo apt-get install xxx". Or "sudo apt-get install libxxx-dev"

You'll need at least:
sudo apt-get install build-essential cmake git libwxgtk3.0-dev

Here are the following packages you'll need to compile Dolphin on Ubuntu Linux

Find your Ubuntu version, install the packages listed, then follow degasus' steps above.

Sorry, if I knew more about what was actually going on I could give you more information.

Are a different set of packages needed if my system uses Debian?

It doesn't seem like that worked. Package cmake seems to be a recurring issue

Sounds like your system is broken. The cmake package is in jessie, and not renamed or deprecated or anything.

Are you using SteamOS? Or just name your system that?

If so, you don't have access to ubuntu repositories (Or debian, I think)

Im trying to set this up on an Alienware Steam Machine which uses SteamOS on a Debian Linux system I believe.

Yeah. Then you don't have access to debian/ubuntu repositories and I don't know if you can add them in without breaking things. Sorry.
