First I have problem with both these command:

sudo make
sudo make install

Because when I try to install Linux header its show error but after a hard trying I installed it!

Now sudo make works but when I run sudo make install I get the following error:

shahab@home:~$ cd rtl8188eu-master
shahab@home:~/rtl8188eu-master$ sudo make
make ARCH=x86_64 CROSS_COMPILE= -C /lib/modules/4.9.0-7-amd64/build M=/home/shahab/rtl8188eu-master  modules
