Debian 8 to cinnamon

[zedsdeath]

Im new with debian/linux so I installed debian but I dont like it and I saw that you can in someway change the desktop to cinnamon, I tried doing what this page says https://mike632t.wordpress.com/2015/08/10/installing-cinnamon-jessie/ but some commands didnt work idk why, I typed them exactly the same. Anybody knows another way?

yes with 

$ su
Password

the previous commands did work, maybe I have to wait more? because when I try to close the terminal its says that a process is still running
