Why are you reading random documentation on the wiki? if you want to
learn about overlays and writing ebuilds read the developer
documentation.
And you don't seem to be folowing it properly either, besides what was
pointed out already, you are trying to run the ebuild comand as your
user, and you don't seem to have made an overlay(You shouldn't be
using hour $HOME as your overlay), also it should be run as the
portage user or root, a lot of documentation you will find about this
stuff won't guide step by step because it is assumed you understand
about overlays already, and have looked at the developer
documentation.
