Dear Brian,

we might help you more if you describe the problem in more detail. It is
not clear whether the installation failed, or the whole setup, or something
else.

I think the documentation has improved dramatically from the time we
installed it, so you might have stumbled on something older.

I would also read:
- https://wiki.shibboleth.net/confluence/display/SP3/LinuxInstall
- https://documentation.its.umich.edu/node/343

For integration, you can test it with https://samltest.id/.

Furthermore, you can contact InCommon, that is your national access and
management services.
Interestingly, there is a Shibboleth training just in a few days at
InCommon - https://www.incommon.org/academy/shibboleth/. But I do not know
if it is for IdPs or SPs or both.

Best
