Problem when trying to install wifi dongle through Linux terminal

I found information that my new Edimax 7811UN v2 won't work out off the box. I then found this but I can't get it to work

https://github.com/icelaglace/MiSTer_WiFi_EW-7811UNv2

I am trying to to write the code as it says on "Installation" on the github page but It won't work.

I have zero knowledge about linux so maybe it is something really simple that I am missing.

I have placed the ko-file in /lib/modules/4.19.0-socfpga-r1/ and I have also placed rtl8188eufw.bin in /lib/firmware/rtlwifi (the last part is from the troubleshoot section on the page).

I had to create all these folders on the SDcard first so I get the feeling that I may be missing something. Or maybe it is something else.

This is how it looks for me when I try to run the code.

Looks like your driver module is compiled for a different kernel version.

I wrote a command to check kernel version and it seems to match.

Try this guide instead of the one you found.

Should it be enough that I do the Installation part or do I also need to do the steps described under Compilation?
