I start with installing refpolicy, enabling it. then it write a simple module on top of the installation. This is what one would do when one wants to write a module atop of refpolicy. I encourage you to not give up and take this final step. You are very close, and your module so far is pretty good. Learning how to do what is in the video is the final piece in the puzzle i think.
