a sidenote: note that 2.5.1 is an old Nominatim release, you may want to use a current one.

One Answer:

The installation instructions https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Nominatim/Installation don't have a line 'sudo su postgres'. You can install Nominatim as user ubuntu, as long as ubuntu is a postgres superuser (see "Creating postgres accounts" in the instructions).

The brackets in "[--osm2pgsql-cache 18000]" mean that part of the command is optional. You can remove it. Or remove the brackets if your server has more than 32GB RAM.

@Fberdejo: as you noticed you do not have the directory "utils" at your current location. cd into the directory "Nominatim-2.5.1" first. There you will find this directory and file.
