I have installed Debian 9 and everything looks great I'm just struggling to install my wifi adapters drivers. I have found the adapter driver here. I'm just very new to the console and need a bit of guidance in using it.

Per the installation guide:
- Make sure your kernel is up to date:
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade, then reboot. - Go to the folder where you downloaded the driver in a terminal (like
cd ~/Downloads/wifidrv/). - Check your compiler version with
cat /proc/version | grep "gcc version". The version number is aftergcc version(which should be in red). If it is at least 5.4.0, you can continue. - Compile the driver with
make cleanand thenmake. - After the commands finish, you should see a
.kofile in the directory (you can find the name withls | grep ".ko". Then, load the driver with the following:
sudo cp 88x2bu.ko /lib/modules/[kernel version]/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/
# Make sure to replace (above) [kernel version] with your current kernel version.
sudo depmod -a
sudo modprobe 88x2bu.ko
Make sure 88x2bu.ko is the wifi driver's name.
Then, check to see if the driver installed by running lsmod. If it didn't, reboot and try lsmod again.
