Trouble with the UI

Hi i’m new to Unity and I trying to do the first tutorial (Roll-a-Ball) but when i got to part 8 (displaying the score) and try to add UI>Text this is what i get. What i’m i doing wrong?

look at the “console” window, it will tell you where that error is occurring, which script etc. check that script/component is setup correctly.

in all likelyhood you have missed setting some variable in an inspector somewhere… null reference exceptions are generic “something you are trying to reference is missing” errors.
