If for any reason you [cannot / could not] get the above steps above to work, you can view the delivered(?) examples. |

Either
cannot (one word, by the way) or
could not is possible. It's a matter of present vs. past.
cannot
seems all right because you are giving the instructions in the present,
as broadly conceived -- during this present operation that you are
performing.
could not (meaning
failed to) is also
OK because you are referring to the past, as narrowly conceived --
during the now-past operation (steps) that you just finished trying to
perform. Personally, I think of the situation as not quite "past
enough" to pull in
could not, so I would choose
cannot.
