Clone nRF Connect SDK sourcecode_root problem on Linux Elementary OS

Hello Slight smile

I want to install the nRF Connect SDK (v3.4.1) on my Linux Elementary OS 5.1.6 Hera to use the nRF9160 and the Thingy91 later on.
I've installed the toolchain and now I am supposed to clone the nRF Connect SDK manifest repository  nrf.

I wanted to use this workflow from the offered guide:

cd <sourcecode_root>
mkdir ncs
cd ncs
west init -m github.com/.../sdk-nrf
west update
west zephyr-export

west and zephyr are already installed and I can update them.

My problem is mainly the "cd <sourcecode_root>". I don't know what I should write instead ot "sourcecode_root".

If I want to verify this step I get two mistakes.
1) Variable sourcecode_root is not set
2) <sourcecode_root>/ncs/.west/config missing
and a mention below "nrf_connect_sdk-0.1.5-1 verification failed"

My folder structure is almost correct. First I created a folder in home and named it ncs. I installed everything inside this folder so that the folder structure is correct.
But after I've got these mistakes I copied the folder into the file system, where folders like /bin or /opt or /root are located because I thought a structure with /home/'pcname' in front of the /ncs could cause problems. But that idea didn't solved my problem either.

Can someone imagine my problem and has a solution for it? I'm pretty clueless right now.

Best regards.
