If it says no 'hostapd', make sure upgraded, updated.
If it says iptables can not find table, most likely you didn't reboot after upgrade.
Make sure your previous WiFi deleted/commented from /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf, otherwise your pi will connect to your own WiFi and because the wlan0 been occupied, you can not connect to your pi via wireless.

6.4,
So one thing that might be useful is when you exit your little server to have it automatically shut down so you don’t need to keep remembering to kill the server via the app. If you want to do this without needing to enter a password each time, firstly run this command to start editing the sudoers file.
sudo visudo
Then add this line to allow passwordless access to poweroff commands.
Then create an alias for your user so that when you hit exit, it actually shuts down the machine. Put this in your .bashrc or .zshrc or whatever rc your shell uses.
